Is radiology technology really for me?

By

Hey guys,

I am 18 years old, and I just finished my first semester in my Diagnostic Imaging program. I did well, but honestly I was miserable in it. I feel like I have the ability to do it, but I really don't think that I will like this as a career. I went into it because I knew it was possible to find part time work, and it pays decently. Now I feel like I made a mistake. However, I don't even know what else I would like to pursue. I feel like I don't know what I want. Also, I am more of an introverted person, so speaking to people all the time really doesn't appeal to me, and I thought this would be a "clean" career, but after leaning about it, surprise surprise, it isn't.

I don't really know what I am asking...but I guess I'm trying to figure out if it gets better? Or if I hate it now, should I probably just leave and not waste anymore time because it gets worse?

Also, I keep on thinking that this is a "you're guaranteed a job" after you graduate kind of profession, but is that truly the case? I live near Montreal.

One more thing, what other things other than working in a hospital can you do with a degree in this? I feel like it's mainly hospital work, which is pretty discouraging.

AI for radiology - A survey

By
Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
