Radiologic technician-getting started

Hi, Im a high school senior and am interested in becoming a radiologic tech. I went to the book store the other day and bought some books on general anatomy and physiology. These subjects are very interesting to me and I have learned quite a bit.

Do you think this is a good way to start my education for this field? As a tech you probably need a general understanding of the human anatomy and all the "systems" right? What parts should I focus on especially?

I would greatly appreciate help here.

oh, and I plan on going to a city college for an associates degree concerning this field.

just posted on your other entry...

and fyi, it's "technologist" or "radiographer" not "technician" .... some people get kinda touchy about that Wink

start off learning your bones, because you'll probabally use some of them as "landmarks".
