Radiologists use sophisticated equipment to produce high quality radiographic images of patients using the least amount of radiation to diagnose and treat injury or disease. Technologists assess the patient, develop the images, and evaluate the images to determine if additional images are required for diagnoses. Career opportunities include working in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and private industries.
