There are plenty of scanning techniques which we know and don’t know when we go to a hospital. All those techniques together are known as medical imaging technology. Medical imaging technology is the process of producing images of the inner body to see any damages, calcifications, tumours and other tissue damages and underlying illness caused to the internal organs of the human body. The various type of medical imaging technology which are now seen in almost all hospitals are

• MRI
• CT Scan
• PET Scan
• Echocardiography
• Ultrasound scan
• Radiography
• Endoscopy
• X – Ray

When the above list describes the various medical imaging technologies, the study of the same is known as radiology. A radiographer is the one who does these medical imaging and examines the images produced and shares the findings with the physician or surgeon.  With the advancements in medical imaging technology, it has been very helpful in all fields of medicine in order to quickly determine and diagnose health issues. It has also helped very much in understanding and decision making about the course of action to be given for the patient ahead. Medical Imaging technology has guided the doctors to be much efficient in surgical procedures. Medical imaging technologies are the methods used by radiographers to determine the concerning factor of parts of the body. So learning radiology and medical imaging technology have double benefits of being an expert in medical imaging technology and being a Radiographer who knows to efficiently handle and properly use these medical imaging technologies.
