This Wikipedia website on Radiology explains the different types of X-rays that radiologists might use. In each section it gives the definition of what type of X-ray it is and how and why it is used. There is also another paragraph on Radiology training, which tells you all the schooling that needs to be done and the rate of success for the next couple of years. I can use this website to study exactly what type of Radiology position I’d like.

This is a blog of a mother questioning if the rays from the X-ray her son had could harm him in any way. This article might be useful as a controversial side to Radiology. The little boy went through many different CT and MRI scans that his mother was concerned he could get cancer from them. The article explains that getting the multiple X-rays was much better than not getting any and risking any head trauma.

This article is probably the most useful out of all the ones that I have searched. It gives me the nature of the work, training and other qualifications, employment, job outlook, projections, earnings, wages, related occupations, and sources for any additional information on Radiology. All the information I’m really interested in is located on this website. In the additional sources link, I can also search for other types of radiology other than just a radiology technician. This is one of the main sites I will be using for doing research on Radiology.

This article is from Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology magazine. It talks about CT scans which is one of my main interests in Radiology. When I was younger I had a CT scan and since then I have always wondered how they work.
