Ribbon-Cutting Launches New RadTech DRF Lab
In April 2009, City Tech’s Radiologic Technology & Medical Imaging Program became the first in the country to include a state-of-the-art digital imaging modality that can be used to train students in both digital radiography and fluoroscopy. This addition puts City Tech students at an advantage over those from other radiologic technology programs by affording them a unique opportunity to study in a didactic lab integrated with a clinical component that helps train them to process the highest quality radiographic images.
With the addition of the new lab, the program is now home to several energized radiography rooms with an active 60 second darkroom/processor and CR digital equipment and digitizer. As the radiographic industry become increasingly digital and imaging equipment more sophisticated, the demand for multi-competent radiographers skilled in the operation of increasingly high-tech equipment grows.
At a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Professor Mary Alice Browne, chair, expressed the department’s gratitude to City Tech President Russell K. Hotzler for the commitment to excellence in education that made the new laboratory possible.
