I am interested in Radiology because when I was struggling with stomach problems, I was around the machines a lot which made me want to learn more about how they work. I will also be attending Regis College in the Fall of 2018 with a major in Diagnostic Medical Sonography therefore, this inquiry will help me get a head start.
