Radiologist
What Does a Radiologic Technician Do?Radiology Technicians perform diagnostic imaging testing with x-rays, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) scans. There are several alternative names for a radiologic technician such as a limited scope x-ray machine operator and x-ray technician. The primary job of a technician is to properly administer x-rays, which includes following the many safety procedures required as well as walking the patient comfortably through the procedure. Good communication skills are helpful to convey information to doctors and medical staff. Specialized certifications are needed to perform mammograms, cardiovascular-interventional radiography, and sonograms. Radiology Technicians often work in hospitals, clinics, imaging centers, or doctor’s offices. Requirements
