Description
Medical Radiologic (or x-ray) technologists produce images of a body part or system using equipment that emits x-rays. This program develops the skills required to perform diagnostic/interventional imaging procedures using ionizing radiation and diagnostic imaging equipment.
The profession of radiological technologist involves a broad variety of procedures and covers a number of specialties including:
- General radiography, i.e., radiographic images (x-rays) of the chest, bones, joints, gastrointestinal studies etc.
- Mammography, to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages.
- Angiography, to examine the heart, blood vessels, and blood flow.
- Fluoroscopy, i.e., real-time images that show movement
- Computerized tomography (CT scans), i.e., detailed cross-sectional images of the body
As part of their professional duty, technologists:
- Provide appropriate information about procedures to patients and support persons and verify understanding.
- Provide education and support to patients and families/support persons.
- Provide compassionate care for patient’s physiological, cognitive and psychological needs.
- Position patients for imaging procedures using anatomical landmarks and knowledge of relational anatomy.
- Align imaging system to demonstrate required anatomical structure(s)
- Ensure patients, staff, and visitors are protected from radiation
- Monitor patient throughout procedure and respond as necessary.
- Assist the radiologist for angiography and interventional procedures
- Administer substances required for clinical procedures.
- Manage a variety of imaging systems.
- Analyze image and data quality and respond.
The radiologist, a doctor who specializes in interpreting radiographic images, reviews and interprets the images. For the referring physician, the radiologist’s interpretation is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient.
Radiological technologists make up about 80% of the 10,000 members represented by the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT). Visit
