National Radiologic Technology Week: Celebrating the Heroes Behind the Images
This week, we celebrate National Radiologic Technology Week and recognize the vital work that radiologic technologists play in our healthcare system. These skilled professionals use a variety of imaging technologies to produce high-quality images of our internal organs and tissues. This information helps providers to diagnose diseases, injuries, and other medical conditions, and to plan and guide treatments. The week-long celebration commemorates the discovery of the x-ray by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on Nov. 8, 1895.
Radiologic technologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers. They use a variety of imaging technologies, such as X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound. Radiologic technologists are highly trained and skilled professionals who must complete an accredited education program and pass a certification exam.
Radiologic technology is a rapidly evolving field, and radiologic technologists must stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and procedures. They also play an important role in patient education and support. Radiologic technologists help patients understand the imaging procedures they are undergoing and feel comfortable during the process.
At Sublette County Health, we are grateful for our team of dedicated radiologic technologists. They provide our patients with high-quality imaging services and compassionate care.
