Radiological & X-Ray Technician Degrees and Programs

Radiological Technician

Radiological technicians, also known as X-ray technicians or imaging technicians, help doctors by taking images of broken bones and other internal injuries. Radiological technicians prepare patients and operate the machinery in hospitals and clinics.

To become a radiological technician, most states require a license. Those interested in becoming an x-ray technician can earn a license by enrolling in and completing a one to two year program from a community college or trade school. However, a bachelor's degree is recommended, as it assists a radiological technician in advancing his or her medical career. It is also possible to specialize in a subset of radiology such as mammography, medical sonography, or surgery.
