Associate in Applied Sci - Radiologic Technology

Radiographers (X-ray technologists) assist radiologists (MDs) in performing examinations of the body to rule out or confirm and identify fractures or disease. To accomplish this, radiographers must be well-trained in using highly technical X-ray equipment and applying specialized techniques. Radiographers study human anatomy and physiology, pathology, exposure techniques, positioning, fluoroscopic procedures, radiation protection, trauma and mobile radiography. Elective topics in radiation therapy, ultrasound, C.T. and MRI are also provided.

The Radiologic Technology program is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology and by the S.C. Radiation Quality Standards Association. Visit https://www.midlandstech.edu/programs-and-courses/health-care/radiologic-technology for more information.

Graduates are eligible to take the ARRT examination. Upon successful completion, students receive the designation of Registered Radiologic Technologist RT(R).

Required rotations through various hospitals, offices, trauma centers and immediate care areas of radiology are scheduled for certain days. Evenings and weekends are scheduled by the program to enhance their clinical education experience. These rotations are required.
