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.
