Radiologic Technology is a field in healthcare that uses imaging techniques to help diagnose and treat medical conditions. Professionals in this field, known as radiologic technologists, operate machines like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to capture images of the inside of the body. These images are crucial for doctors to identify issues such as fractures, tumors, or other abnormalities.
In addition to taking images, radiologic technologists ensure patient safety by following strict protocols to minimize radiation exposure. They also work closely with radiologists, who are doctors specialized in interpreting these images, to provide accurate diagnoses and improve patient care.
