I have a bachelors in psych and we reviewed many studies which used nuclear medicine scans of the brain which were amazing, and I work in a hospital, so I have encountered many MRIs. Both produce vivid images, but which is better to do as a career? or is it easier to find job placement by staying as an xray tech? Difference in salary??

Thanks!

However, I have no idea how I can go about and extracting and/or viewing this data. I am talking with Doctors overseas as well as online medical forums for a deeper perspective on my medical condition. Both the Doctor and the forum of people have asked for images of my MRI’s and X-Rays but I’m not sure how to extract and explore them. Do I need a special program that Doctor’s have? Is this DICOM program piratable? Is it simpler than that, like I just extract the images and send it? Any input is very helpful thanks in advance!

Also, how long does it take to get accredited from a Radiology school, so you can work as a Radiology technician at a hospital?

There is some bone density loss on my right lower jaw, but this appears to be minor. On the left, however, the films show the jaw hinge and the part of the jawbone that begins under my one remaining (impacted) wisdom tooth, but absolutely nothing in between. The films show the space as blank. It’s not a fault of the machine, as my children’s radiographs turn out fine. What could be the possible causes for the bone’s not appearing on the x-rays?

I have some jaw pain and loud popping on the left side that I have always attributed to TMJ, and I get piercing headaches on the same side of my face and head, but I don’t know if these are related to what is happening with my x-rays.

The situation worries me, not least because when my mother was 35, just a few years older than I am now, she had part of her jawbone replaced because of degeneration: the bone turned spongy and disintegrated. Are there hereditary conditions that might cause bone loss that is not osteoporosis?
