careers working with MRIs
Hi there,
I am a chemistry major in my senior year, and I am thinking about what to do post-graduation. Last year, I took a course in NMR spectroscopy, and it was my absolute favorite class I've taken; I loved learning about the theory on how it works on a quantum level and using the instrument.
I'm interested in dedicating my further education/career to NMR, and I know that MRI is essentially NMR, so I am thinking about a career in MRIs. I was wondering what further education I should get, and what job opportunities would be available to me. Should I be trying to get a master's degree in "medical imagining" or "radiology"? Would a PhD be better? Also, what career paths would be available to me? I haven't done much research on what being a radiologist is like day to day. Am I essentially just helping patients into the MRI and interpreting spectra, or is there more to it? Also are their jobs related to MRI other than what I just said, like ones that deal with like repairing or maintaining MRIs?
