Program Description
Diagnostic Radiography is the practice of using medical imaging technologies such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound to produce images of the internal structures of the body. These images are used to diagnose and monitor medical conditions, injuries, and diseases. Diagnostic Radiographers, also known as Radiologic Technologists, are healthcare professionals responsible for producing high-quality images using various imaging modalities, positioning patients correctly to obtain optimal images, operating and maintaining imaging equipment, ensuring patient safety and comfort during procedures, and collaborating with radiologists and other healthcare professionals to provide accurate diagnoses.
