Finished 1st year as rad tech and not sure I am suited for this

Hello, I am studying radiologic technology to become rad tech. It's bachelors degree (in my country, you have to have bcs). So I finished first year. I've also done around 400 hours in hospital as student. I worked at a classic x-ray, CT, MRI, mamography, densitometry and even at surgery. But I can't help and find it.... Really boring. There are days, when it goes by really fast and that's fun, but often, it goes by really slowly, sometimes not even 1 patient in houlf an hour. I always count the minutes when i can leave. It's just sitting around and I read book or surf the internet. Is it worth finishing this major, or should I switch to something else? Does it get better? After all those lessons spent at school and at hospital, I honestly feel burn out and the thought that i would have to do this job for another 40 years scares me. But at the same time i am scared of quitting, because what if the other option doesn't work out and i am left with nothing. Does anyone have any positive outlook to share?

AI for radiology - A survey

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/
