New Mexico here i come =D

It totally sucks when you parents tell you they would pay for your schooling only if its in a field that they approve of. knowing me my first choice is of course going to be music. I want to be a roadie. That's been my dream for a while now. My parents have deiced that the music biz is not for me and i should do something that will benefit me in the end meaning which were not paying the money to do that pick another job field. so it just do happens that Kayla and i have been talking about the medical field and we talked about job positions we would like to have. I've looked threw tons of fields and have deiced on Pediatrics or Radiology. For those who don't know what either fields are I'm here to explain. Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with medical care of infants,children,and adolescents. In other words a pediatrician. Some may argue that pediatricians are not considered professional doctors. I don't get why they would say that i mean pediatricians have to undertake a course of study, training, and residency that is comparable and equivalent in every respect to a psychiatrist, surgeon or any other specialization. if i do break onto this field i would like to work in the intensive care unit helping infants learn to breath on there own. My other field choice is Radiology doing x-rays,ultrasounds,mammograms and other things with the use of radio waves. The actual definition of radiology is the specialty directing medical imaging technology to diagnose and something treat diseases. Radiology was discovered in 1895 on November 5 by Wilhelm Conrad Rontogen at the physical institute of Wuerzburg University. He named it X-Radiation and the term is still used today. Radiology is classified broadly into two subdivisions. Diagnostic radiology and therapeutic radiology. Diagnostic radiology is the interpretation of images of the body to aid the diagnosis or prognosis of disease. Diagnostic includes: Chest radiology, abdominal and pelvic radiology(sometimes together termed "body Imaging"), intervention radiology(uses imaging to guide therapeutic and angiographic procedures also knows as Vascular and intervention radiology), Neuroradiology(the sub-specialty in the field of central nervous system i.e brain and spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, osseous spine and its neural contents, and head and neck imaging), Intervention Neuroradiology(uses imaging to guide therapeutic and diagnostic and diagnostic angiographic procedures in the head, neck, and spine), musculoskeletal radiology(sub-specialty in the field of bone,joint, and muscular imaging), Pediatric radiology, Mammography(sub-division of radiology that images the breast tissue), Emergency radiology(Sub-division of radiology involved in the diagnosis and treatment of acutely ill or injured patients) Nuclear Medicine(sun-division or radiology that use radioisotopes in characterization of lesions and disease process and often yield functional information).Therapeutic radiology utilizes radiation for therapy of diseases such as cancer. There isn't any sub-divisions that i have found. some other type of radiology are:Projection (Plain) Radiology-Radiographs(Or Roentogenographs named after Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen) are ofter used for evaluation of bony structures and soft tissues.Fluoroscopy-fluoroscopy and angiography are special applications of X-Ray imaging in which fluorescent screen or image intensifier tubes is connected to a closed-circuit television system, which allows real-time imaging of structures in motion or augmented with a radio contrast agent.CT scanning-CT imaging uses X-Rays in conjunction with computing algorithms to image the bodyUltrasound-Medical ultrasonograph uses ultrasound(high-frequency sound waves) to visualize soft tissue structures in the body in real timeMRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging)-MIR uses strong magnetic fields at align spinning atomic nuclei(usually hydrogen protons) within body tissues then uses a radio signal to disturb the axis of rotation of these nuclei and observes the radio frequency signal generated as the nuclei return to their baseline states plus all surrounding areasNuclear Medicine-Nuclear medicine imaging involves the administration into the patients of pharmaceuticals consisting of substances with affinity for certain body tissues labeled with radioactive tracer. let me say for 1.i do not want to work in nuclear medicine and 2.radiology might be more my calling. so what does New Mexico have to do with any of this? i plan on going to the University of New Mexico's medical school
