A radiographer, also known as an X-ray technician, is a healthcare professional who uses imaging equipment to create images of the human body for diagnostic purposes. These images can be used to identify and diagnose a wide range of medical conditions, from broken bones and arthritis to pneumonia and cancer.
Becoming a Radiographer
To become a radiographer, you will typically need to complete a two-year associate's degree program in radiography. These programs cover the basics of radiation safety, anatomy and physiology, and imaging techniques. Once you have completed your degree, you will need to obtain licensure in your state. To do this, you will need to pass a national certification exam administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
