Radiology and Imaging Technology VS Medical Technology Laboratory Coursework Programs

There is no such healthcare professionals occupation that can be termed as superior to the other because they’re all equally and crucially important in the well-being of patient health. This blog is just to justify and clarify which ordeal a confused aspirant can lean towards to make an informed decision to find their career path between a Radiology Technology field and Medical Lab Technology field. 

Both the fields are diametrically and dramatically different to one another with independent tasks but together they offer impactful advantages towards the betterment of patient health. The course work has a little bit of similarity with subjects like Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology etc. 

Medical Technology or Medical Lab Technology course work teaches about the uses of how and what clinical laboratory testing is done to diagnose and evaluate diseases accurately, prevent diseases and also lead to a better cure of varieties of diseases. The teaching under CMLT/DMLT/BMLT involves the examination of bodily fluids, body tissues and also other materials for analytic evaluation using equipment designed specially for laboratory medical testing. 

Healthcare professionals are assisted to carry out difficult procedures and tests so that accurate evaluation can be detected, diagnosed and treated patients.  

Now as of Radiology course programs, a series of internal photographs of the human body are scanned and retrieved to help in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Radiology academics and training is critically important in detecting impairment and malfunctioning of various areas of the human body which makes it the finest innovations in the healthcare medical sector. 

Hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers with Radiology departments are always in demand for skilled radiographers and technicians. In the same manner, hospitals and clinics and laboratory diagnosis centers with medical lab technology departments are in constant demand of skilled lab technicians. Healthcare industries require skilled candidates with substantial understanding in their sector respectively. With effective technologies and methods constantly implemented in both the departments of medical lab technology and radiology and imaging technology, the job opportunities and exploration remains massive and in constant demand. 

Candidates with degree or diploma in Medical Lab Technology can become Lab technician, educator, and teacher, demonstrator cum administrator and lab technologists etc., who are capable enough to handle a wide range of applications with skilled and valuable expertise. Also their demand continues in blood bank departments, pathology labs and nursing homes as well. 

Similarly, candidates with a degree or diploma in Radiology & Imaging Technology/Medical Imaging Technology can become Radiographer, X-ray Technician, CT technician/technologist, MRI technician/technologist, demonstrator, imaging modality analytics, teacher, administration etc. 

Both the course programs have a bright future in India as well as abroad and Ganesh Paramedical College in Delhi offers the best option in the pursuit of paramedical course programs like certificate, diploma, bachelor’s degree and master’s program as well. Other than Medical Lab Technology and Radiology and Imaging Technology/Medical Imaging Technology termed as CMLT, DMLT, BMLT, M.Sc. MLT, CRIT, DRIT, BRIT, and M.Sc. RIT, Ganesh Paramedical College also offers course programs in Biotechnology. 

Ganesh Paramedical College is affiliated with various recognised boards such as NIOS, Bir Tikendrajit University and Singhania University. The eligibility criteria and fees structure differ in each of the universities respectively.
