Medical imaging graduates must have a more comprehensive clinical medical skills and solid medical imaging diagnosis and treatment technology, and have a certain medical legal knowledge and knowledge of humanities and social sciences of qualified medical imaging professional physicians, can engage in a variety of common diseases, diseases of imaging diagnostic work, and can complete the interventional treatment of common diseases under the supervision of imaging equipment, but also can be engaged in medical education, medical research, medical law and health care management work. They can perform diagnostic work of various common diseases and many diseases, and can complete the interventional treatment of common diseases under the monitoring of imaging equipment, and can also be engaged in medical education, medical research, medical law and management of health undertakings.
Medical imaging involves a wide range of disciplines, strong overall, rapid development, is an independent and mature discipline. Its scope of research mainly consists of the following three parts: ① radiology, including traditional diagnostic X-ray, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic *** vibration imaging (MRI), interventional radiology; ② ultrasound medicine (US), including B-mode ultrasound, echocardiography, interventional ultrasound; ③ nuclear medicine, including γ-photography, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission computed tomography (PET) and interventional nuclear medicine.
The development of medical technology and medical careers electronic computer X-ray tomography scanner (CT) and nuclear magnetic **** vibration diagnostic technology invention and application, known as since the discovery of X-rays by R?ntgen, diagnostic radiology, an important achievement, with the computer image analysis technology is getting stronger and stronger, able to quickly analyze a large number of data from highly detector, rapid imaging; the 20th century, the world set off a new era in the field of nuclear medicine. In the later part of the 20th century, the world set off a medical technology revolution mainly based on minimally invasive surgery, and many interventional techniques under the guidance of medical imaging equipment appeared. Through the new diagnostic imaging technology, early tumors and many other early lesions can be detected, and imaging basis can be provided for further treatment. With the development of medical technology, on the one hand, doctors are relying more and more on the examination of instruments and equipment, on the other hand, in the current tense doctor-patient relationship, the results of the examination of various instruments have become an important legal basis for the doctor's fault in the process of treatment, and the use of this instrument will inevitably increase, resulting in the rapid expansion of medical imaging units in our country's health care units, and the emergence of a relative lack of medical imaging personnel within a short period of time. Since the reform and opening up, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the investment of their personal medical services has also been increasing.
The country has also increased investment in health care, and basically established a medical and health service system throughout urban and rural areas as well as a medical insurance system for urban workers, at the same time, governments around the world have put forward the development of medical and health care planning, such as Chongqing, a municipality directly under the central government in the west of Chongqing, the government proposed that the Chongqing region by 2015, the third-class general hospitals will reach 30, the above policies and measures to further promote the development of China's health care, especially in recent years, the development of medical care and health care services. The above policies and measures further promote the development of China's medical and health care industry, especially in recent years, a variety of high-end imaging equipment continues to popularize to the county and sub-county hospitals, resulting in more medical and health care units in China, especially in the western medical and health care units of the imaging professionals to increase the gap in demand; in the current health care system, medical and health care units need to imaging professionals, but can not provide sufficient staffing, many medical and health care units have to recruit imaging Specialized students to solve this contradiction.
Now there are relatively few medical schools with medical imaging programs and fewer graduates, and the employment situation of medical imaging is relatively good.
Medical Imaging Salary: As of December 24, 2013, the average salary of 37,812 medical imaging graduates was $3,687, including $3,304 for recent graduates, $4,091 for 0-2 years, $5,091 for more than 10 years, $5,026 for 3-5 years, and $8,999 for 8-10 years.
Two, medical imaging career direction
Medical imaging students can be engaged in medical imaging diagnosis, interventional radiology and medical imaging technology in health care units after graduation.
Medical imaging jobs include: ultrasound doctors, software implementation engineers, ultrasound physicians, radiologists, radiologists, clinical medicine, clinical pharmacy, medical imaging and nursing graduates, pre-sales engineers, health care center doctor consultant technician, ultrasound doctors, radiology technicians, physicists, ultrasound and so on.
