[Nfb-science] blind radiologist

[Nikhil Dama]

Hi,

I was looking at the description of this job and I found out tha
radiologists have to read many diagrams. These diagrams include
x-rays, MRI scans, or other types of scans. WIth my vision impairment
would there be away that the x-rays could be converted into tactiles,
so I could read them. If I could find away to make this conversion
occur. Then I could become a radiologist.

Thanks,
NIck Dama
