Nuclear Medicine Technologists Several employers and an increasing number of States require certification or licensure. Nuclear medicine technologists must meet the minimum Federal standards on the administration of radioactive drugs and the operation of radiation detection equipment.
Nuclear medical technologists operate sophisticated equipment to help physicians and other health practitioners diagnose and treat patients.
Cardiovascular and clinical laboratory technologists and technicians, diagnostic medical sonographers, radiation therapists, radiologic technologists/technicians and respiratory therapists perform similar duties.
Radiation Therapists Employers usually require an associate or bachelor’s degree program in radiation therapy. Completing an associate or bachelor’s degree program in radiography by studying radiological imaging and completing a twelve-month certification program in radiation therapy may qualify individuals. Some States require radiation therapists to be licensed by the State accrediting board. States and employers may require certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). To become certified by ARRT you need to complete an accredited radiation therapy program, adhere to ARRT ethical standards and pass the ARRT certification examination. This certification process covers radiation protection, quality assurance, and clinical concepts in radiation oncology, treatment plans, patient care and education. Competency must be shown in several clinical practices, which include patient care, simulation procedures, dosimetry calculations, fabrication of beam modification devices, low-volume, high-risk procedures and treatment procedures. AART certification is valid for 1 year.
Radiologic Technologists and Technicians need training programs in radiography from one to four years that lead to a certificate, an associate degree, or a bachelor’s degree. Two-year associate degree programs are the most common. Find out more about travel radiology technologist jobs.
Some 1-year certificate programs are available for experienced radiographers or individuals from other healthcare occupations, like medical technologists and registered nurses, who want to change fields or specialize in CT or MRI. A bachelor’s or master’s degree in one of the radiologic technologies is recommended for supervisory or administrative positions.
The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology accredits most formal training programs in this field. Radiography programs require a high school diploma or the equivalent at a minimum.
Federal legislation protects the public from the hazards of unnecessary exposure to medical and dental radiation by requiring operators of radiologic equipment to be properly trained.
Radiology technologists and technicians need to be sensitive to patients’ physical and psychological requirements. They must be detailed oriented, follow instructions and work with a team.
With experience and additional training, radiology technologists may become specialists, performing CT scanning, angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
Radiology technologist jobs are in high demand, these positions are sometimes referred to in the healthcare industry as traveler radiology technologists, radiology technicians, radiology tech, rad techs or x-ray techs.

Diagnostic Medical Sonographers include several procedures that aid in diagnosing ailments. Besides the well-known x-ray, another common diagnostic imaging method is magnetic resonance imaging, which uses giant magnets to create radio waves rather than radiation to form an image. Not all imaging technologies use ionizing radiation or radio waves, however Sonography or ultrasonography is the use of sound waves to generate an image for the assessment and diagnosis of various medical conditions. Sonography is usually associated with obstetrics and the use of ultrasound imaging, however this technology has several other applications for diagnosing and treating other medical conditions.
Diagnostic medical sonographers are also known as ultrasonographers. Sonographers view the screen during the scan looking for subtle visual cues that contrast healthy areas with unhealthy ones. Sonographers decide whether the images are satisfactory for diagnostic purposes and select which ones to show to the physician. Sonographers also take measurements, calculate values, and analyze the results in preliminary reports for physicians.
Diagnostic medical sonographers may specialize in obstetric and gynecologic sonography (the female reproductive system), abdominal sonography (the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas), neurosonography (the brain), or breast sonography. In addition, sonographers may specialize in vascular technology or echocardiography.
No State requires licensure in diagnostic medical sonography, however organizations such as the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) certify the competency of sonographers through registration. Because registration provides an independent, objective measure of an individual’s professional standing, many employers prefer to hire registered sonographers. Registration with ARDMS requires passing a general physical principles and instrumentation examination and passing an exam in specialties as obstetric and gynecologic sonography, abdominal sonography, or neurosonography. To keep this registration current, sonographers must complete continuing education to stay abreast of technological advances in this field of work.
Respiratory therapists and respiratory therapy technicians—also known as respiratory care practitioners.
Evaluate, treat, and care for patients with breathing or other cardiopulmonary disorders. Practicing under the direction of a physician, respiratory therapists assume primary responsibility for all respiratory care therapeutic treatments and diagnostic procedures, which include the supervision of respiratory therapy technicians. Respiratory therapy technicians follow specific respiratory care procedures under the direction of respiratory therapists and physicians.
Formal training is necessary for entry into this field. Training is offered at the postsecondary level by colleges, medical schools, vocational-technical institutes, and the Armed Forces. An associate’s degree is required for entry into the field. Most programs award associate’s or bachelor’s degrees and prepare graduates for jobs as advanced respiratory therapists. A limited number of associate’s degree programs lead to jobs as entry-level respiratory therapists.
