Radiography is a discipline primarily associated with the use of x-rays to produce anatomic images. Individuals who produce images during radiographic examinations are called Radiographers, or generically, Radiologic Technologists. Radiographers work closely with Radiologists, the physicians responsible for interpreting medical images. Radiographers practice in hospitals, imaging centers, private physician offices, research laboratories, governmental agencies, and other industries.
The demand for Radiographers in the United States is expected to grow, fueled by an increase in natural population growth, a greater life span for individuals, and an increasing demand for radiographic procedures resulting from technological advances aimed at early diagnosis and prevention of disease.
