Radiology
is a medical specialty which uses medical imaging
technologies to diagnose and sometimes treat diseases.
Radiologic technologists perform x-rays and sometimes
specialize in CT scans, ultrasound, MRIs and nuclear
medicine. A recent labor shortage in radiology
specialists has been addressed, but careers in allied
health are expected to grow faster than average when
compared to all other careers. Advances in computer
technology have had a dramatic effect on the preparation
for radiology careers. Radiologic technologists should
have a team player attitude, close attention to detail,
and the ability to follow detailed instructions. Learn
more!
