3 minute read
Medical Imaging Technicians are responsible for operating and maintaining the equipment used to create images of the human body for diagnostic purposes. They work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers. Medical Imaging Technicians must have a strong understanding of anatomy and physiology, as well as the principles of radiation safety.
Skills and Knowledge
Medical Imaging Technicians must have a strong foundation in science and math, as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills. They must be able to work independently and as part of a team, and must be able to follow instructions carefully.
Medical Imaging Technicians typically need an associate's or bachelor's degree in imaging science or a related field. They must also be certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
