Medical imaging backlogs were prevalent before COVID-19, and have now reached critical levels, threatening patient care, posing a pressing and immediate need for Medical Imaging professionals. With this, and the exponential increase, year to year, in the aging population requiring diagnostic scans to help treat injury and disease, this career holds near-limitless opportunities.
