医学射线照相师或放射技师负责对射线照相或其他图像接收器上的身体结构进行精确成像。技术人员确定适当的曝光系数，操纵医学成像设备，评估放射线图像的质量，并为患者提供保护和舒适感。技术人员经常在专门的程序中协助医师团队成员。这些通常需要向患者施用化学混合物以增强对身体系统功能的观察。医学射线照相计划从秋季学期开始，并且以在认可的学院或大学完成一年的前提课程为基础。该计划为期七个季度，第一季度着重于放射学的理论方面，每周有一天进行临床指导。剩下的五个季度将每周两到五天的临床培训与更高级的课堂主题相结合。时间表延伸
The medical radiographer, or radiologic technologist, is responsible for the accurate imaging of body structures on a radiograph or other image receptor. The technologist determines proper exposure factors, manipulates medical imaging equipment, evaluates the radiographic image for quality, and provides for patient protection and comfort. The technologist frequently assists the physician team member in specialized procedures. These often require the administration of chemical mixtures to the patient for enhanced viewing of the function of the body systems. The medical radiography program begins with the autumn quarter and is based on the completion of one year of prerequisite course work at an accredited college or university. The program is seven quarters long with the first quarter emphasizing the theoretical aspects of radiography with one day per week in clinical orientation. The remaining five quarters combine clinical training on a two-to-five days per week basis, with more advanced classroom topics. The schedule extends though vacation periods and may involve some evening assignments. A 21-month program, student involvement during the program is 40 hours a week, mainly during regular daytime hours.
