What happens if i become a radiological technician, what all will i take x-rays of?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Everything!: Radiologic technologists are trained how to take X-rays, as well as the physics behind X-ray production, and the process of film development. You will learn positioning for taking X-rays of different body parts, as well as for procedures such as GI series, barium enemas, mammography, and special procedures. Extra training may be necessary for certain exams, and for CT or MRI or breast biopsies.
