Radiologic Technology
Radiologic technologists are important health care professionals who specialize in radiographic procedures and exams, helping physicians diagnose and treat diseases and injuries.
The Radiologic Technology program prepares you to become an entry-level certified radiologic technologist. You’ll develop technical skills in diagnostic imaging through classroom instruction, lab demonstrations and clinical application—all with a focus on real-world experience.
The primary role of the radiographer is to provide diagnostic images of the structure and function of anatomy to assist the physician in the treatment of injury and disease. Graduates are prepared with the technical skills necessary to perform a variety of diagnostic radiographic examinations. Examples of examinations performed include chest, upper and lower extremities, spine, ribs, skull, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and reproductive systems.
