The radiologic technologist uses radiation
to produce images of various parts of the body, which help in the
detection of injury or disease. In recent years, the increasing
complexity
of radiologic procedures has made Radiologic Technology & Medical
Imaging a highly specialized and sophisticated science requiring
competently
trained personnel.
City Tech's comprehensive program provides a student with the special
knowledge and skills necessary to the practice of Radiologic Technology & Medical
Imaging. The program is accredited by the Joint
Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).
The JRCERT office is located at:
20 N. Wacker Drive
Suite 2850
Chicago, IL 60606-3182
The graduate of the associate degree program is eligible to take the
national examination administered by the American
Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). This examination
satisfies the New York State licensure requirements. Candidates for
examination must comply with the ARRT Standards of Ethics. Prior conviction
under the law may jeopardize eligibility for examination. Further
information about this issue may be obtained by contacting the department.
Many radiologic technologists are members of the American
Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), the professional organization.
Benefits include continuing education and a job bank.
Graduates of the program are employed in major medical centers, imaging
centers and medical offices throughout the metropolitan area and in
many other locales. Many graduates pursue additional degrees or advanced
specialty certifications such as mammography, magnetic resonance imaging,
computed tomography and cardiovascular imaging. The average starting
salary for radiologic technologists in full-time positions is $40,000-$45,000.
