When we use the term "radiation" as regards energy, probably the first thing that comes to mind is electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic (EM) energy is often called electromagnetic radiation. We know that this could be radio waves, microwave energy, infrared light, light from the visual spectrum, ultraviolet light, X-rays or gamma rays. All of these are forms of electromagnetic radiation, and a link can be found below for more information.Radiant energy.

Visible Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves often are called different things depending on the wavelength of the wave. Examples are Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma Rays.
Radio waves at the frequency of 2,450 MHz, often inaccurately referred to as "microwaves".
An Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) tests are often done in an anechoic chamber, a room designed to completely absorb reflections of sounds and electromagnetic waves. An EMI test involves testing RF filters and special designs to check for unwanted audible buzz in audio appliances like a microphone amplifier or a speaker amplifier.
A cyclotron is used to create various radioactive atoms which can then be used for various diagnostic imaging. It is often used in the medical industry.
Medical MRI Technologist jobs are most often located in hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers and may require a moderate amount of physical activity working with the equipment and maneuvering patients.

Dewey Holleman has written books on a range of subjects, including urban planning, architecture, and sustainable design. His works often focus on the intersection of architecture, society, and the environment.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment for radiology technicians is expected to increase faster than average--about 17% through 2018. With an aging population, there will be increased need for diagnostic imaging tests. More and more diagnostic imaging testing will be needed to diagnosis and treat injuries and diseases that often become more prevalent as one ages. Radiology technicians are largely employed by hospitals, but some are employed by physicians and diagnostic imaging centers. Radiology technicians that are skilled in multiple diagnostic imaging procedures such as MR, CT and mammography will have better choice of employment opportunities as employers take advantage of multi-skilled employees to control costs.Radiology technicians, also referred to as radiologists, use x-ray equipment to diagnosis medical conditions. Radiologist also place nonradioactive material into a patient's vein to assist in diagnosis. Some radiologists specialize in particular diagnostic imaging procedures such as computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and mammography. Medical sonographers, cardiovascular technicians and technologists and nuclear medicine technologists also perform procedures relating to diagnostic imaging.Because radiologists spend a good part of their day on their feet and have to maneuver patients for imaging, they should be physically fit and have stamina. Not only does a radiology technician handle imaging equipment, but he usually must record patient history into computers. The radiologist must be skilled on proper safety protocols and adhere to regulations to eliminate unnecessary radiation to the patient and themselves. They place lead shields, which are often heavy, on patients to protect areas of the body not being imaged.Certificate, associate's degree and bachelor's degrees are offered at most accredited radiology technician programs, with associate's degree being the most common educational prerequisite for the position. Programs are typically mixed with classroom study and clinical practice. Coursework includes anatomy, physiology, radiology imaging procedures, safety, radiation exposure, patient care, and radiation biology. One year certificate programs are available for those that want to specialize in imaging procedures such as CT or MRI.The salary that a radiologist technician earns depends upon his specialty. A radiologic technologist earns between $17.03 and $25.90 per hour while a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Technologist earns in the range of $24.48 to $28.05, according to PayScale.com as of September 2010. A Computed Tomography (CT) Technologist earns in the range of $16.61to $30.00 while a Mammography Technologist earns between $25.41 and $30.60 per hour.
Nikiforos Kollias has written books on a wide range of topics, including history, political philosophy, and global issues. His works often challenge conventional ideas and offer fresh perspectives on complex issues.
X-Rays are a type of electromagnetic waves. and they play an important role in dentistry and orthopedic investigation. Many individuals undergo an X-ray to allow medical professionals to gain a better idea of what is going on inside someone so appropriate treatment can be prescribed and provided. We also see gamma radiation, a higher energy form of electromagnetic radiation, used in treating some types of cancer. When we hear that someone has undergone "radiation therapy" in an attempt to stop or control cancer, the gamma ray source is often what is being referred to. Other types of radiation can be used, but gamma ray treatments are still common.
I prefer not to use the word "stored," because EM radiation does not "store" energy -- it transfers it. The energy shifts from the electric field of the EM wave to the magnetic field of the EM wave, and then back -- repeat ad infinitem.

Yes is called the rebirth of the science of medicine
Echocardiography is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests for the heart such as electrocardiography
