0.12 OCCUPATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS (Information obtained from the US Dept. of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook) Radiologic technologists take x-rays and administer nonradioactive materials into patients’ bloodstreams for diagnostic purposes. Radiologic technologists are also referred to as radiographers. They produce images of parts of the human body for use in diagnosing medical problems. They prepare patients for radiologic examinations by explaining the procedure, removing jewelry and other articles through which x-rays cannot pass, and positioning patients so that the parts of the body can be appropriately imaged. To prevent unnecessary exposure to radiation, these workers surround the exposed area with radiation protection devices, such as lead shields, or limit the size of the x-ray beam. Radiographers 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 x-ray machine to produce images of the appropriate density, detail, and contrast. The radiographer then places the image receptor under the part of the patient’s body to be examined and makes the exposure.
Radiologic technologists must follow physicians’ orders precisely and conform to regulations concerning the use of radiation to protect themselves, their patients, and their co-workers from unnecessary exposure.
In addition to preparing patients and operating equipment, radiologic technologists keep patient records and adjust and maintain equipment. They also may prepare work schedules, evaluate purchases of equipment, or manage a radiology department.
