The radiologic technologist is a health care practitioner who plays an important role on the medical team. Technologists are usually employed in a department of radiology or medical imaging performing a variety of radiographic procedures including basic x-ray procedures or advanced procedures such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Typical responsibilities of the radiologic technologist include interacting regularly with ill, injured, or suffering individuals, producing and processing quality diagnostic radiographs, and communicating effectively with fellow technologists, physicians, and other healthcare team members.
