Why I Want to Become a Radiologic Technologist

2007

Since the times of my adolescence , I was sure that medicine is my true devotion and my only future occupation . When I was a teenager , I used to take care about my sister , who had a lot of various problems with her health and sometimes needed constant medical supervision . Therefore during my regular visits to hospitals I had opportunity to observe different hardships and challenges doctors have to face in their daily routine . For many years I was influenced by the work of

some young ambitious doctors , and I truly admired their courage , determination and dedication to their noble profession

Now , I am particularly interested in radiologic technology , because nowadays it is having wide application and enjoying good demand in medical circles , in particular , sonography , MR tomography or other diagnostic imaging techniques . The role of radiologic technologists in diagnosing various diseases is significant , because within the last decades , modern radiologic technology has been significantly developing Now it allows detecting and monitoring a huge variety of injuries or malfunctions of the organs of human organism , starting from bone fractures and ending with different forms of cancer

I am particularly attracted by this occupation due to its dynamism flexibility and opportunity to deal with the patients , who have different types of health problems . I think that I have good social skills and personal qualities for doing this job well , because I always like working and communicating with people , supporting them , looking for ways to give them positive emotions and stimulate their will for recovery

It is also important that becoming a radiologic technologist will allow me to specialize at a number of prospective clinical areas . In particular , it is possible to specialize on MR imaging , which is highly applied in detecting pathologic tissues in human brains , etc . Modern sonography has also very wide diagnostic application , starting form obstetrics and ending with vascular medicine . The other opportunities include cardiovascular-interventional radiography , computed tomography mammography , nuclear medicine , and others

In addition to everything above , I am considering becoming a member of the team which works on detecting and treating different types of cancer . I understand that patients with cancer are in need of special care . Moreover , frequently they need some physical help or psychological support and attention , and I believe that I have all necessary resources to provide them with this . Besides , I am a good and responsible team member . I always enjoy any form of collaboration with other people on solving one or another problem , because it brings me more opportunities to socialize and to learn new things

I suppose that , generally , my professional responsibilities as a radiologic technologist will include interviewing people and obtaining accurate information about their health condition performing all required technical diagnostic procedures (like electrocardiograms , basic X-rays , MR or other imaging , etc analyzing the information received in to facilitate the process of making correct diagnosis assisting physicians and other specialists in providing patients with quality medical care , etc
