As a Radiologic Technologist, you will prepare patients for radiologic examinations by explaining the procedure and positioning patients so they can be appropriately radiographed.
A Radiologic Technologist has many jobs including:
positioning equipment at correct angle over the patient
placing x-ray film under the part of the patient's body being examined " making the exposure
removing the film
developing x-rays
preparing work schedules
evaluating equipment purchases or manage a radiology department
Sonographers (Mtrasonographers):
Direct high frequency sound waves into areas of the patient's body; the equipment then collects reflected echoes to form an image. The image is viewed on a screen and may be recorded on videotape or photographed for interpretation and diagnosis by physicians. Viewing the screen as the scan takes place, Sonographers look for subtle differences between healthy and unhealthy areas, decide which images to include, and judge if the images are satisfactory for diagnostic purposes. |
