Medical imaging and medical imaging technology are two majors that are easily confused, and their differences are mainly reflected in the degree awarded after graduation, the direction of employment, whether to obtain a doctor's qualification certificate and the content of work.
Medical imaging major requires five years of undergraduate Xi, awarded a bachelor's degree in medicine upon graduation, can obtain a physician qualification certificate, employment direction includes ultrasound, CT, MRI, X-ray and other departments, is a professional doctor who can read the film in the reading room to make a diagnosis. The medical imaging technology major undergraduate Xi, graduation awarded a bachelor of science, after graduation in radiology, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy and other departments as a technician, can not take the physician qualification certificate, future work is to contact those radiation instruments, is a medical technician.
In the direction of postgraduate examination, medical imaging majors are not as widely selected as clinical medicine majors. Clinical medicine majors can cross almost all medical specialties in the postgraduate examination, but most of the medical imaging majors can only choose the direction of imaging in the postgraduate examination.
Medical Imaging Postgraduate Direction 1: Surgery.
Introduction: Surgery is the basic discipline of clinical medicine, including general surgery, bone surgery, urology, thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, burns, field surgery and other modules.
Research interests: research on the mechanism and prevention methods of necrosis of avulsion wound tissues, scar and wound healing, peripheral nerve regeneration and repair of long defects, research on the principles and methods of dilation, and research on the mechanism and prevention methods of skin flap ischemia necrosis.
Training objectives: to master the broad basic theories and systematic professional knowledge of surgery, and have the ability to engage in clinical research and clinical medical work.
Medical Imaging Postgraduate Examination Direction 2: Imaging Medicine and Nuclear Medicine.
Introduction: Imaging medicine and nuclear medicine are divided into three parts: radiology (including X-ray, CT, magnetic resonance and interventional radiology), ultrasound medicine and nuclear medicine.
Research interests: application of dual-source CT in cardiovascular diseases, brain tumor imaging and pathological control research, gastrointestinal disease imaging research, molecular and functional imaging research, pancreatic and kidney disease imaging research, imaging research of ** diseases, clinical experimental research of tumor and vascular lesion intervention, vascular disease and interventional ultrasound research, medical image processing technology.
Recommended Universities: Fudan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Capital Medical University, China Medical University, Southern Medical University, Chongqing Medical University, Sun Yat-sen University, Sichuan University, Zhejiang University, Tianjin Medical University, Shandong University.
Medical Imaging Postgraduate Direction 3: Clinical Medicine.
Introduction: The clinical medicine major emphasizes practical application and aims to cultivate senior medical professionals with basic medical theories and medical prevention skills. Students mainly learn the basic theories and knowledge of Xi medicine, and receive training in the diagnosis, prevention and prevention of human diseases.
Career prospects: Graduates of clinical medicine should have certain knowledge of humanities and social sciences, natural science foundation, basic medical theory and clinical medical knowledge, as well as preventive medicine knowledge, and have clinical thinking and practical ability. However, due to the expansion of enrollment in medical schools in recent years, the number of graduates has increased, resulting in increasing competition for jobs. At present, hospitals are more inclined to recruit qualified professionals than to accept a large number of fresh graduates, so it is gradually becoming more difficult for clinical medicine graduates to find employment.
5 colleges and universities with strong imaging strength:
Soochow University: Its medical imaging has a high reputation in the country, and the First Affiliated Hospital is particularly outstanding in terms of scientific research and tutors, and the number of students admitted each year is also the largest. Regardless of whether it is a master's degree or a professional master's degree, only full-time undergraduate students are enrolled.
China Medical University: Imaging medicine and nuclear medicine are national key (cultivation) disciplines, with rich experience in imaging medicine research results and talent training.
Tianjin Medical University: The School of Medical Imaging is the first medical imaging major in China, and has a complete level of education, including higher vocational, undergraduate, master's, doctoral and postdoctoral degrees.
Southern Medical University: Its medical imaging is a national-level specialty with high education quality and professional level.
Sun Yat-sen University: Imaging medicine and nuclear medicine are national key disciplines, with a high level of research and academic status.
When choosing a college and major, candidates should make an informed decision based on their interests and career plans. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the admissions requirements and application conditions of each institution to ensure that you meet the relevant qualifications and standards.
