Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Training

CT/MRI technology continues to offer new possibilities of diagnostic imaging that will have a noteworthy impact on healthcare. Understanding of CT/MRI technology will provide a platform for career escalation and create future opportunities for those trained in this expertise.
AN OVERVIEW
RADIOLOGY: Radiology is that vertical of health sciences which employ the imaging skills and equipments for the analysis and management of a medical condition.  For this, Radiologists use an array of techniques such as X-Ray Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computerized Tomography (CT) etc.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI): This technique is put to use expansively for scanning brain tumors, spinal cord injury, ligament and tendon injury, etc. The basic theory behind its methodology is that our body is composed of a lot of water and hence protons which get aligned to a large magnetic field produce an image. No biological risks have been registered till date due to its operation. It is a multipurpose imaging solution and can be used for diverse types of medical conditions.
COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY (CT): For the diagnosis of bone imaging, chest and lung imaging and even for cancer detection, Computerized Tomography (CT) is most suitable, making use of X-ray attenuation. It gives an exhaustive detail about the bone structures. The methodology is relatively simpler as the radiation is passed through the body and received by the detector. Followed by this, complete integration takes place and the screen gives a cross sectional image. The whole operation takes 10-15 minutes.
TRAINING: .Given that these procedures are ultra sophisticated, it is necessary that the training that is being passed on is remarkably first-class, the faculty delivering the same should have an immense knowledge of the technicalities of these imaging processes, and last of all and most significantly, the apprentice must receive an all-encompassing proficiency of the practical as well as theoretical characteristics of the machines. One of the training academies meeting all the above stated fundamentals is Wellwishers Academy.
The academy offers an assortment of courses for Doctors who wish to reach the masses. The Academy has a team of highly capable doctors who have vast familiarity in this field so that the trainees can be trained in an efficient way.
Various programs offered by the academy under this category are
  • Neuro Imaging (Brain and Spine)
  • Body Imaging
  • MR Musculoskeletal Imaging
  •  MR/ CT Angiography

Paramedical Courses: A Concise Preface

Education is a vast domain. Simply graduating doesn’t suffice in today’s cut throat competitive world. Learning and imbibing professional skills is of paramount importance. And when we talk about healthcare, many verticals are booming in, like paramedical courses.

Gone are the days when the only options available to science students were that of an engineer and a doctor. Today, a paradigm shift has been observed towards the paramedical courses as these are of comparatively shorter duration and at the same time offer excellent employment opportunities, pronto.

Paramedic

A Paramedic is a professional who lends a hand to the doctor so as to facilitate enhanced diagnosis and treatment. An increase in the number of patients, multitude of diseases & the availability of numerous kinds of treatments has brought forth the prominent role of the Paramedical Professionals.

Future Avenues

After acquiring sufficient skills and training, a qualified Paramedic professional can explore job avenues in government as well as private hospitals and clinics, pathological laboratories, science and medical colleges etc. The remuneration offered and job security is also satisfactory

Choosing a Course

One can opt from a sea of courses such as
  • Audiology
  • Speech Therapy
  • Dental hygiene and Dental mechanics
  • Nursing
  • Pharmacy
  • Operation Theatre assistance
  • Optometry and ophthalmic assistance
  • Medical Laboratory Technology
  • Radiology
  • Ultrasound
  • IVF technician
  • Physiotherapy
  • Occupational therapy
One must be very serious about selecting a particular course. The selection should be made keeping in mind the core area of interest, skills, level of patience and background.

Choosing the Right Paramedical Academy

One of the institutes meeting all the above mentioned prerequisites is Wellwishers Academy. It has grown from the house of Marvel group which encompasses brands like Mother’s Pride Preschools, Presidium Senior Secondary Schools, Adiva Hospital, Sparsh NGO etc.

The courses presently offered by the academy are:
  • D.M.L.T (Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technician)
  • CT/MRI Training
  • Ultrasound Training
  • D.O.T.T (Diploma in Operation Theatre Technician)
  • Body Imaging
  • MR/CT angiography
  • Neuro Imaging (Brain and Spine)
  • MR Musculoskeletal Imaging
  • D.M.R.T / D.R.I.T (Diploma in Medical Radiation Techniques / Diploma in Radiation Imaging Technology)
  • D.M.P.H.W (Diploma in Multi Purpose Health Worker)
  • Bachelor in Paramedical Science
  • Master in Paramedical Science
With a dream of revolutionizing the healthcare industry, we at Wellwishers academy are here to work towards the improvisation of the healthcare industry.

Come and be a part of this brilliant profession.

The main aim behind getting enrolled is not to study but to LEARN something. This can be accomplished only when the school of paramedical science has well trained faculty with vast years of experience behind them. Besides this, the institute must be fully equipped with all the necessary instruments and machines, OT’s and other essential labs. The academy must provide exhaustive expertise in theoretical as well as practical training to the pupil. And lastly, it must be accredited from a recognized and an established university.
