Is this a good field to go in radiologist?

If you are interested in the career of health care, yes. It is a fairly easy job, but may seem monotonous or they hours may be long. You should be aware of the difference between a radiologist and radiologist technician. The median salary for a radiologist is $361,538 per year. To be a radiologist you must have a bachelor degree and an additional 4 years of medical school plus 4 years of residency and 1 year of fellowship. Their main job is to interpret X-rays. Radiologist technicians are the ones who perform the actual X-ray or sonograms, etc. On average the radiologist technician makes between $55-60,000 annually. You generally only need an associates- bachelor degree in radiology to practice.

Is a dc chiropractor different than a chiropractor?

This difference may indicate a slight difference in the education of the chiropractor. For example, in Canada and the US chiropractors complete a 4 year doctoral program (after an undergraduate degree) to get a doctorate in chiropractic (DC) degree. In Australia, chiropractors complete a 2 year masters degree (after an undergraduate degree) to get a masters in chiropractic. Thus, in Canada and the US, a chiropractor is a doctor and has a DC qualification, whereas in Australia a chiropractor is a therapist and has a masters degree not a DC.

What is the difference between a chiropodist and a chiropractor?

Sometimes, people do not know the difference between a chiropodist and a chiropractor. A chiropodist specializes in diagnosing and fixing foot-related issues. In addition, chiropodists help diagnose foot disease and provide solutions. On the other hand, chiropractors use different approaches to fix pain-related problems in the body. You can get the help of any of these professionals as per your condition and get immediate help. These experts have great knowledge in their field due to years of experience. Also, they can provide positive results within the first week of the treatment. Thankyou


Do chiropractors know how to read MRI?

Chiropractic education includes instruction and clinical experience in reading MRI. Further, chiropractic radiologists, who study for 3 additional years following their 4 years of chiropractic school, have very extensive training in the interpretation of all forms of medical imaging. That being said, the expertise of a chiropractor or chiropractic radiologist will be in interpreting neuromusculoskeletal aspects of the MRI. For interpretation of visceral (organ) conditions that may appear on MRI, I would suggest a medical radiologist rather than a chiropractic radiologist.
