Role of a radiologic technologist
A radiologic technologist is a highly trained professional who is skilled in the use of ionizing radiation for the production, processing and quality assurance of radiographs to be interpreted by a radiologist in diagnosis. Most radiologic technologists work in hospitals, although positions in clinics and private offices are available.
The King’s Daughters’ Hospital and Health Services offers a certificate in radiologic technology. The twenty-four month program prepares the student for a professional career in radiology. The radiographer is primarily concerned with demonstration of portions of the human body on an x-ray film or a fluoroscopic screen for diagnostic interpretation by the radiologist.
