Medical lab radiology
X-ray technicians, produce X-ray films called (radiographs) to assist in diagnosing medical problems.
They
will prepare the patients for radiologic examinations by explaining all
the procedures. They also will position the patients so the body part
can be X-rayed correctly. Some other duties of the X-ray technicians
are to keep patient records and adjust and maintain the equipment.
Hospitals,
community colleges, and universities, offer the preferred courses for
this profession. Hospitals, employ most X-ray technicians, so they
will prefer to employ those with formal training. X-ray tech
training ranges in length from one to four years and leads to a
certificate, an Associate degree will usually do or a Bachelor's
degree.
Certification, is voluntary, and offered by the
American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Technologists to be
accepted must graduate from an accredited program and pass a tough
examination. Many hospitals only hire certified radiographers. To be
recertified, you will have to complete 24 hours of continuing education
every two years.
X-ray technicians will have to be sensitive to
patients' physical needs. They need to be detail oriented, be able and
willing to follow instructions and work as a team. Operating this
complicated equipment requires mechanical aptitude and manual dexterity.
Full-time
X-ray technicians will work about 40 hours a week. You may be required
to work evenings, weekends or be available for on-call. There are
positions for part-time and shift work is also a good probability.
