Radiologic technology (Rad Tech) is a medical specialty (within the general field of Radiologic Science) that uses ionizing and nonionizing radiation to produce images of the tissues, organs, bones, and vessels that comprise the human body. These images can be recorded on film or displayed on a video monitor. As opposed to radiation therapy, which is used in the treatment of disease, radiologic technology produces images that enable the physician to examine virtually any part of the human body.
This program starts at the beginning of the Summer Term.
