Radiography

A Radiographer works with equipment that generates x-rays to produce images of the body for evaluation and diagnosis of disease.  The Radiographer must be able to evaluate radiographic images, position the body to demonstrate anatomical parts, practice safe radiation rules and provide sound patient care.  In addition, the individual must be physically able to transfer patients from beds to wheelchairs, lift, push, pull and to move heavy equipment.
