Radiologic Technology FAQs
What is radiologic technology and what does a radiologic technologist do?
Radiologic technology is the science of using advanced imaging equipment like X-rays, CT scanners, and MRI machines to create images of the body.
A radiologic technologist performs medical imaging exams like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to help physicians diagnose and treat diseases. The day-to-day responsibilities of a radiologic technologist includes prepping patients, positioning patients and adjusting equipment to ensure accuracy and high-quality images are captured, and following safety protocols to minimize radiation exposure for both the patient and themselves. They also make sure equipment is properly calibrated and pass images to radiologists for review and interpretation.
What is the difference between radiography and sonography?
Although radiography and sonography are both essential medical imaging fields, they use fundamentally different technologies. Radiography uses ionizing radiation like X-rays and CT scans to primarily view dense structures and sonography uses high-frequency sound waves to capture images of soft tissues, organs, and blood flow.
