Radiologic technicians take X-rays of various body parts.
An X-ray technician is trained and educated in using medical equipment to produce diagnostic images for physicians to use for diagnosis and treatment. X-ray technicians are also known as radiologic technicians or technologists; online radiologic programs are available for those who are seeking a career as an X-ray technician or as continuing education programs for those who are already X-ray technicians.
