What is radiography?
Radiography is a technique that utilizes electromagnetic radiation other than visible light to view a human internally. Radiographers learn how to use high-tech equipment to create digital images. Radiography students learn how to prepare and place patients, as well as learn how to expose and develop radiographic films.
Why major in radiography?
If you are interested in pursuing a career in the health sciences, but find blood makes you squeamish, radiography allows you to work in a medical facility without dealing with too much blood. Additionally, radiography is only a 2-year degree which may be a perk for students who do not want to attend school for a very long time. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the field of radiography is expected to increase by 21% over the next ten years, which is much faster than the average field.
What courses do I take to become a radiographer?
Imaging Equipment, English, Radiation Characteristics and Production, Radiographic Pathology, Introduction to Computer Tomography, Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, College Algebra, Ethical and Legal Dimensions in Health Sciences
