Medical imaging technology is an undergraduate major in colleges and universities in China, with a four-year academic system and a bachelor of science degree.
Professional definition
Medical imaging technology mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of basic medicine, clinical medicine and medical imaging, and uses the methods of imaging diagnostics and interventional medicine to diagnose and treat diseases. Common medical imaging diagnostic techniques include CT, B-ultrasound, X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance, Doppler ultrasound and so on. Common treatment techniques include tumor radiotherapy.
Curriculum system
Some colleges and universities have specialties such as basic medicine, clinical medicine, medical imaging, structure and maintenance of imaging equipment, medical imaging technology, photography, imaging diagnostics, interventional radiology, imaging physics, ultrasound diagnosis, etc. The training direction is: radiotherapy technology.
development prospect
Medical institutions: medical imaging technicians, medical imaging diagnosis, equipment maintenance, radiotherapy, clinical technicians (such as neurology technicians, neurosurgery technicians, dental technicians, operating room C-arm technicians, sleep technicians, transcranial magnetic stimulation technicians), etc.
medical imaging
Medical imaging refers to the technology and processing process of obtaining the internal tissue image of human body or a certain part of human body in a non-invasive way for medical treatment or medical research. It includes the following two relatively independent research directions: medical imaging system and medical image processing.
The former refers to the imaging process, including the study of imaging mechanism, imaging equipment, imaging system analysis and other issues; The latter refers to the further processing of the obtained image, the purpose of which is either to restore the original unclear image, or to highlight some characteristic information in the image, or to classify the image in a pattern, etc.
