Radiography Program

Radiography is a high-tech, high-touch health care profession with significant patient contact utilizing sophisticated computerized equipment. The radiographer uses radiation, magnetism, and computers in the production of medical images. These images aid the physician in the diagnosis of broken bones, ulcers, tumors, diseases, or malfunctions of various organs. In addition, the radiographer is responsible for providing the physical and mental well-being of the patient during the radiographic examination. Advanced-level radiographers perform in specialized areas such as: MRI; CT; cardiovascular intervention, where the radiographer assists in the treatment of vascular disease to prevent surgery; mammography; and quality management.
