Radiologic Technology
Associate Degree Program
Radiologic Technology is the art and science of using x-rays to produce images of the organs, bones, tissues and vessels of the human body. Students in this technology are educated in utilizing x-ray equipment and techniques, proper patient positioning, radiation protection methodologies, and quality patient care. As a member of the medical imaging team, the radiologic technologist produces quality, diagnostic images that are interpreted by radiologists – physicians who specialize in medical imaging. The programs are accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (20 N. Wacker Dr, Suite 2850, Chicago, IL 60606-3182; (312) 704-5300; mail@jrcert.org; www.jrcert.org).
