CAREER PATHWAYS
Radiology professionals prepare, perform and assess radiologic tests and procedures. Radiographers, also referred to as radiologic technologists or medical imaging technologists, are healthcare professionals who perform diagnostic imaging procedures.
They are responsible for the accurate positioning of patients while imaging is conducted, in order to produce quality diagnostic images. Radiologic technologists work closely with radiologists—the physician specialists who analyze medical images to either identify or rule out injury or disease.
