It's good information on the work hours, salary, and just any kind of info you might need from interviewing someone in a work field. They even have some pros and cons on the job which will help with the argumentative side of the essay. There is more information besides the interviews. They have photos of Radiologist doing their job, using and looking at machinery, with a brief caption of what's going on in the picture. You can find education needed to get into the field, speculated salary and expected future of the job, related careers, and so much more. It's only credible mention is that it is supported by Yavapai College and it comes from a company called Anaca Technologies Ltd, which all content is copy-written to.
"The Radiology Blog." Web log post. Wednesday, December 30, 2009. Blogger, 30 Dec. 2009. Web.
This is just a blog site(blogger.com) with blog posts full of information on the field of Radiology. There is a lot of information that shows how things are done in Radiology from information about how to read an x-ray to the Radiology salary in general etc. The most interesting post is the one titled "A Day in the Life of a Radiologist", which entails a short but detailed look in the field of Radiology for a day. Some of the information can be found as credible through the main source, but other then that it's just a blog from an anonymous poster. To acquire information on the blog they request you contact 'them' through e-mail. I'm not sure the information is posted by anyone in the field, that's why I'm including an interview site as my next source.
RadiologyInfo - The Radiology Information Resource for Patients. Radiological Society of North America, Inc. (RSNA). Web. 05 Apr. 2010. <
http://www.radiologyinfo.org/>.
This is a government (.gov) site showing the many uses of Radiology to patients. I know it's not info on a Radiology career in particular, but it does help show some of the fields of interest through the operations. It also shows information on what they use and the procedures in the field. It tells of which areas on the body they can perform radiology procedures and how it can help. It even explains the types of therapy it can offer as well. There is a lot of good information about the field even if it's mainly for patients, and it's a government site so it has valid information. There's even movie clips and pictures to get better acquainted with what they are talking about.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiology>.
This is your average Wikipedia site that holds a lot of information, credible and not. It's just chocked full of info with added sites of interest. It shows the different branches of Radiology, the imaging technology they use, and even some useful background info on training and how it's expanding along with tech. They even have a small section at the beginning on the nature of the work, which is always nice to know what you're actually getting into. It then goes into some of the other countries backgrounds with Radiology. At the end it has your References and External links if I want to get more info then was offered in the wiki.
You Heard it Here First: CT Scans and Cancer Risk. The Women's Health Activist 1 Jan. 2008: Health Module, ProQuest. Web. 7 Apr. 2010.
This is an article found in the ProQuest search about CT (Computed Tomography) scans and how they could be harmful. It comes with a full TXT- PDF file of the magazine article. It argues that CT scans increase the risk of skin cancer, and that they sometimes over do some procedures. Apparently the doses of radiation being used, has been associated with increased risk of skin cancer. CT scans are even estimated at causing as many as 2% of all cancers. This article is a little old dating at 2008, but it's still close enough to be potentially useful in my argument.
