The
Field of Radiography
A radiologic technologist, also known as a radiographer, is a professional in
the medical field specifically trained to produce various types of diagnostic
radiographic images. The radiographer renders an important service to the medical
profession. A radiograph, or x-ray, is the ultimate product of the radiographer's
work. The radiograph serves as a diagnostic tool for the physician. Accuracy
and quality are imperative in attaining an optimum diagnostic study. As with
every health care professional, the radiographer's main objective is to provide
excellent patient care and to maintain high standards of quality. Such an individual
must be personable, flexible to change, physically agile, understanding, compassionate,
and ever mindful of his or her purpose - patient care.
