You will be an interprofessional team member with patients, imaging professionals, physicians, nurses and other health care professionals. You will utilize medical terminology, adjust exposure controls, practice radiation protection, and work in a fast-paced exciting environment.
You can specialize in computed tomography, mammography, bone densitometry, interventional, and cardiovascular imaging.
The Owens Radiologic Technology Program offers all second-year students the ability to complete a certificate in Computed Tomography and complete clinical experience in CT after program completion.
To practice as a Radiologic Technologist, you must pass a national certification examination through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. The Owens Radiologic Technology program prepares you to take this examination. Some states, including Ohio, also require you to become licensed.
