Medical Radiography

Medical radiographers or radiologic technologists are allied health professionals who use their patient care and technical skills to perform diagnostic procedures using ionizing radiation. Procedures include exams of the central nervous, gastrointestinal, skeletal, respiratory, and urinary systems and may be performed in the radiology department, emergency room or the surgical suite.

Professional competence requires a radiographer to apply their knowledge in anatomy, pathology, patient positioning, radiation protection, image production and evaluation. Employment opportunities include hospitals, clinics, physicians’ offices, medical laboratories, government agencies and industry. In addition, registered radiographers may pursue additional education in advanced modalities such as sonography, nuclear medicine, interventional radiography, radiologist assistant, radiation therapy, CT, MRI and mammography.
