Radiologic Technology
What is Radiologic Technology?
It’s the professional practice of creating medical diagnostic images through the use of ionizing radiation produced by specialized radiographic equipment.
The work requires physical activity such as lifting, standing for long periods of time, and moving heavy equipment. Operating the equipment requires physical stamina, as well as critical thinking and ability to perform mathematical calculations.
Radiologic Technologists perform direct care of patients, are highly adaptable in quick or changing circumstances, and communicate with physicians and other healthcare professionals. They must be CPR certified and hold professional licensure and certifications.
Before considering this career field, take some time to investigate the work. Observe radiographers working, speak with radiologic technology professionals, visit the Brookdale classrooms and labs, and speak with our faculty and students – these will help you better understand the profession, the learning requirements, and the job.
