Question

I have a friend in Phoenix wants to go into this field. Will this become obsolete as MRI is becoming more commong place?

Any thoughts, or suggestions on this feild?

Answer 1

You must mean radiologic technologist, as a radiologist is a doctor who specializes in the interpretation of medical images such as MRI scans, CT scans, radiographs, nuclear medicine scans, mammograms and sonograms.

I don't see regular x-ray going anywhere. Insurance companies are not going to pay for an MRI for a possible broken toe or something when they can do x-rays.

Answer 2

I think is quite bad because of the radiations he would be exposed to. A teacher told us not to choose this domain if we plan to have healthy children..or have children at all.
