My name is Chris Looney, I'm a diagnostic radiologist here at Heartland Hospital in
St. Joseph, MO. What a radiologist does, he's the physician, the medical doctor that interprets
x-rays. We read cat scans, we read MRIs, ultrasounds and then regular x-rays that you would get
if you hurt your foot. Diagnostic radiology residency is a 4 or 5 year program that is
at maybe 50 major teaching hospitals in the United States that trains physicians in the
area of radiology. Covers all of the imaging modalities like I mentioned, CT, MR, ultrasound,
nuclear medicine as well as things like interventional radiology, neuroradiology, etcetera. If your
a medical student looking for a diagnostic radiology residency in Texas, Texas Tech,
Texas A&M, Baylor, there are several cities that offer radiology technology schools. Houston
and Dallas, those are all specific to the area of the state of Texas. Thank you very
much for watching, I hope you are all entertaining the idea of a career in medicine. Again this
is Chris Looney, thank you very much.
