What Does a Radiology Technician Do?
Radiology technicians receive special training in taking x-rays using powerful radiograph equipment. They will usually position the patient in a certain way in order for the desired x-ray to be viewable and navigate the camera over the area of concern for the best possible photo of the affected area. To prevent unnecessary exposure to the radioactive elements, the radiology technician will perform their tests from behind a lead-lined wall. Once the tests are completed, the radiology technician will inspect the x-rays for clarity.
