Introduction

Hello, my name is Debra. I am a graduate of USI with an Associates of Science in Radiology. I am a Registered Radiological Technologist with a specialty license in Mammography. For the last 20 years I have worked in St. Louis, MO primarily in mammography and clinical radiology. When digital mammography became available, the descriptive films stirred my interest again in MRI. Last semester I was surprised to learn the most interesting fact. THE MAGNET NEVER SHUTS DOWN when you are finished with scanning a patient like regular x-ay machines turn off daily.
