X-ray technicians take
xrays and administer nonradioactive materials into patients'
bloodstreams for diagnostic purposes. Some specialize in diagnostic
imaging technologies, such as computerized tomography (CT)
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Radiologic technologists
and technicians, also referred to as radiographers ,
produce xray films (radiographs) of parts of the human body
for use in diagnosing medical problems.
They prepare patients for
radiography exams by explaining the procedure, removing articles
through which xrays cannot pass and positioning patients so
that the parts of the body can be appropriately radiographed.To
prevent unnecessary radiation exposure, these workers surround
the exposed area with radiation protection devices, such as
lead shields, or limit the size of the xray beam with collimation.
X-ray Technicians position
radiographic equipment at the correct angle and height over
the appropriate area of a patient's body. Using instruments
similar to a measuring tape, they may measure the thickness
of the section to be radiographed and set controls on the xray
machine to produce radiographs of the appropriate density,
detail, and contrast. They place the x ray film under the part
of the patient's body to be examined and make the exposure.
They then remove the film and develop it.
