Radiographers use radiation (X-rays) to produce two-dimensional, black-and-white images of patients’ anatomy, usually recorded digitally with modern equipment. Radiographs may help detect bone fractures and foreign objects in the body, and show the relationship between bone and soft tissue. Chest radiography is a common exam used to evaluate the heart and lungs for conditions such as pneumonia. In this role, the Radiology Tech captures images of patients’ internal organs, soft tissues, and bones using X-ray equipment. Radiologic technologists may also assist radiologists with procedures such as fluoroscopic imaging and gastrointestinal exams requiring contrast media.
