I am a radiology student at a local college. I will graduate next year
Gosh, that's a complicated topic, with so many imaging techniques to learn - ultrasound, x-rays, nuclear medicine and more.
Yes, learning to place each machine in the proper place is difficult.
You will learn with practice. And you are surrounded by a medical team so you can compare images with previously stored images to know you've got it right.
Yes, I have learned that with breast exams.  When we have a person, hopefully we also have a series of x-rays taken before
That's great. Perhaps one day you'll become a Reporting Radiographer and will interpret some images!
Oh, I hope I can learn that.  I think I need advanced courses.
I assume you start out as a radiographer and take more advanced courses after that. Is that correct?
