They take you x-rays, perform CT scans  and other imaging treatments. Can just anyone do that? What is a Radiologic Technologist?

 

What do they have to know in order to work as Rad Tech?


Did you know the first x-ray was discovered by a German physicist on November 8, 1895? The image was of a hand with a wedding ring on it. In 2013 there were over 159 million x-rays performed in United States.
