The Trinity Health Radiologic Technology Program was recently reaccredited for another eight years – the maximum award possible – by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). Trinity Health has sponsored the program for over 80 years and in 2020 graduated its 250th radiographer!
A radiologic technologist (RT), or radiographer, is a vital member of any healthcare team. Radiologic technologists combine extensive knowledge of advanced medical imaging with a passionate drive to help others. They use their knowledge of physics, human anatomy, and the ever-advancing field of medical imaging technology to produce images that are interpreted by a radiologist, a medical doctor who specializes in interpreting medical images and performing radiologic procedures.
Radiologic technologists may also specialize in various advanced imaging modalities, including cardiovascular-interventional radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), mammography, and bone densitometry. With further education, RTs may also pursue careers in radiation therapy, medical dosimetry, nuclear medicine, and sonography.
In order to become a radiologic technologist, one must obtain an associate or baccalaureate degree from an accredited community college or university; graduate from an accredited radiologic technology program; earn certification bypassing the national ARRT exam in radiography; and possess valid state licensure, where applicable.
