What is radiology?
Radiology uses technology to see inside the human body — and every image helps a doctor find an answer sooner.
X-ray vision? Basically.
- X-ray — fast, accurate imaging for bones and injuries
- MRI — magnets and radio waves that see soft tissue in detail
- Ultrasound — sound waves that create real-time images
- CT — X-rays plus computing for detailed 3D views
- Mammography, PET & more — each with its own skills and tools

How to become a rad tech.
Take core courses
Anatomy & physiology, medical terminology, algebra, basic physics, and English composition — the usual prerequisites for accredited programs.
Complete an accredited program
Pick a modality and put in the hours — most people start in X-ray and specialize from there.
X-ray ~2 yrs · CT +6 mo · Mammography +6 mo · MRI +9–24 mo · Ultrasound ~2 yrs · Nuclear medicine ~18 mo
Apply and interview
You can apply, interview, and receive a conditional offer just before you graduate from your radiologic program.
Get certified
Pass your certification exam (like the ARRT) after graduation and you’re a certified technologist. Your state may also require a license.
Grow at RadNet
