Radiographers perform medical diagnostic imaging examinations on patients.
Radiographers are trained professionals who use X-rays, or ionizing radiation, to create diagnostic medical images of organ systems and body parts. These professionals may also be referred to as radiologic technicians. Schools that offer radiographer programs help students prepare for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists licensure examination.
