    You can find the table for some myths and facts related to BSc Radiology courses here

    Myth

    Fact

    BSc Radiology and BSc Radiology & Imaging Technology are same only

    BSc Radiology means radiation and BSc Radiology & Imaging Technology is all about imaging techniques and ultrasounds

    Only doctors can perform radiology procedures.

    Radiologic technologists (BSc Radiology graduates) operate imaging equipment while radiologists (MD/DMRD) interpret the images.

    Radiology is all about taking X rays

    It includes MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, fluoroscopy and nuclear medicine imaging apart from X-rays

    You will get a high paying job right after BSc Radiology

    Salary differs on the basis of experience, specialization and the healthcare facility. Entry level salaries may be moderate but career growth is promising.

    Radiologists and Radiologic Technologists have the same roles.

    Radiologists are medical doctors who diagnose diseases through imaging while radiologic technologists on the other side operate imaging machines and help doctors.

    There are limited job opportunities in radiology.

    Radiology professionals are in demand in hospitals, diagnostic centers, research labs, and the healthcare industry.

    Exposure to radiation makes radiology unsafe.

    Safety measures and controlled exposure levels make it a safe profession.

    Radiology is only for Science students.

    While a Science background is mandatory, skills like attention to detail and analytical thinking are also essential.

    BSc Radiology is equal to MBBS.

    MBBS is a Medical degree while BSc Radiology is a Paramedical course
