DESCRIPTION OF THE PROFESSION
A Radiologic Technologist must be a mature, dependable person who is "people oriented" and generally interested in caring for the sick and disabled.
Radiographers take Xray films (radiographs) of all parts of the human body for diagnosing medical problems.
Radiographers position the patients, who either lie on a table, sit or stand so that the correct parts of the body can be radiographed.
In addition to the Xray department, radiographers may take portable Xray machines to other areas of the hospital including the emergency room, operating room and intensive care unit.
Radiologic Technologists work with ionizing radiation and know how to protect themselves and their patients from unnecessary exposure to Xrays. With proper safety procedures followed, the amount of occupational exposure received by a radiographer is very low.
