designing to improve imaging machines

Hi! I am in 10th grade and I have some very direct aspirations. I want to design and develop more detailed and improved diagnostic imaging machines, kind of like an MRI or a CT scan only more detailed. What career path would I want to choose in order to have the knowledge and resources to do this? Thank you! Andrea

    Hello Andrea...!!! 
    As per your query, i suggest you to opt for Biomedical Engineering.
    Biomedical engineering is a field in which application of technology into human body is studied.As you said u want to go for detailed designing of MRI/CTSCAN etc , you need to study the basics, functionality and mechanism of such machines which u can get only in our Biomedical engineering.A subject called Biomedical Image Processing helps to deal with the designing of image related biomedical instruments.
    
    Thank You
