About
The medical specialty of radiology continues to see new and exciting advances in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Radiologic technologists, with their special skills involving the use of ionizing radiation (X-rays), are important members of the modern health-care team.
It is the radiologic technologist’s duty to perform complete quality service to the patient. This requires substantial specialized knowledge, critical thinking skills, clinical competence, and a commitment to caring. A professional character demonstrating maturity, motivation, positive attitude, and a desire for life-long learning is essential. The radiologic technologist must be able to receive and respond to instructions and audio signals, be able to differentiate subtle shades of gray, accept criticism, take initiative, and communicate with patients and the healthcare team.
