Medical Radiography Careers By Eric Morris
Medical Radiographers are professionals who use complicated imaging
apparatus to x-ray various parts of the human body and assist a
thorough diagnosis. They execute medical imaging actions to diagnose
medical problems. They are also responsible for preparing patients
for radiology examinations, positioning them properly under the
machines and ensuring accurate doses of radiation. They also have
to maintain patient records and radiographic apparatus.They find
employment in medical practitioner offices, clinics, hospitals and
diagnostic imaging centers.
Their earning ranges from $18.00 to $24.50
per hour. The medical radiography field over the next few years
is expected to grow by leaps and bounds. An estimated job opening
of 200 vacancies every year is expected. This is because radiography
is assuming important proportions in the diagnostic field. It is
almost impossible to diagnose a disease without use of radiography.The
American Registry of Radiology Technologists, ARRT, administer certifying
exams for Radiology Technologists. In the Arizona State, a certificate
from Medical Radiology Technology Board of Examiners (MRTBE) is
necessary for employment.
Gate Way community college is one of the colleges
offering courses in medical radiography. It offers an associate
in applied science degree in medical radiography. The degree not
only teaches basic imaging principles, but also prepares the student
with the job skills necessary for service. After doing a foundation
course in medical radiography the student can further advance his
career prospects in other imaging professions such as diagnostic
medical ultrasound, nuclear medicine technology and magnetic resonance
imaging. Apollo College, Colorado Technical University are among
many schools and colleges that offer degree or certificate programs
resulting in a career as an X Ray technician, Radiographer or a
Radiology Technologist.Click
