I am extremely interested in particularly the radiology field...I'm a senior in high school with great grades and a handy ACT score underneath my belt. (32) I hate to sit here and surf the web all day, or watch t.v, I'm anxious to learn...what can i do now to begin learning what i need to know later in life?

If you are interested in radiology, I would recommend learning as much about physics as possible! X-rays are created by shooting radiation through soft and hard tissues in your body, and whatever radiation was not absorbed/reflected by your internal organs gets deposited on film. Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen won a Nobel Prize in physics in 1901 for his discovery of X-rays. Clinically based Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) essentially images the amount of hydrogen you have in your body (in the form of water and fat). The technology depends on the magnetic moment of hydrogen. Peter Mansfield and Paul Lauterbur, the developers of MRI, won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2003 for their work. However, their work depended on the work of I.I. Rabi who examined magnetic moments of atoms (he also won a Nobel Prize in 1944 in physics)
Clearly, it not enough to "be good in school" or ace your bio/chem/orgo classes. Being able to understand the basic principles behind how the equipment works will benefit you greatly. I would feel uneasy if my radiologist told me to get into the "magic black box" to get some images! In addition, by understanding the physics behind the machinery, you may be able to develop new diagnostic techniques.

It's good to see a youngster knowing what they want to do in life. Good field choice. I think you should try going to the library and finding books on radiology. Familiarize your self with their terminology. Get the books with the examines in them. That let's you know what they will be testing on. Good Luck and GOD BLESS!!!!!

you need to get a job at a hospital working as a patient care tech. the sooner you start getting experience in the medical field, the easier medical school will be
