Explore what a radiologic technologist does

Radiography is an exciting and highly rewarding career. A vital part of the diagnostic team, radiologic technologists are immersed in the heart of the action, operating a variety of imaging equipment to produce medical images (radiographs). They work directly with patients, not only operating X-ray machines, but also explaining the type of procedure and accurately positioning the patient to achieve the best image possible.
