Radiologic technologists use radiation to provide detailed images of the tissues, organs, bones and vessels of the human body, producing quality diagnostic examinations while providing essential patient care services. Technologists may assist the radiologist in fluoroscopy doing gastrointestinal procedures. They may also be in the operating room providing images to assist the surgeon.
Graduates of this program have a comprehensive education in class content and simulate skills in the lab. Radiologic technologists are employed in hospitals, clinics, private offices, industry, civil service, public health facilities and educational institutions.
