New Curriculum and entrance Requirements effective for the incoming class of 2008

A radiographer, also known as a Radiologic Technologist, is responsible for producing radiographs as prescribed by a physician. In order to successfully produce a radiograph, the radiographer must position the patient between the image receptor and the x-ray tube, select the proper amount of radiation, and then energize the x-ray tube. Radiographic processing and evaluation, radiation protection, and basic patient assessment are within the scope of practice of a radiographer.

Radiographers are employed in hospitals, outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, private physician offices, and mobile x-ray companies. In addition, employment is available in the industrial aspect of radiography, specifically by producing radiographs of metal parts to determine cracks or potentially weak areas in the part.
