Are
you looking for a career in Radiologic Technology?
West Georgia Technical College offers a 21-month program in the theory and practice
of Radiologic Technology. A student can expect
upon graduation to work as a radiographer,
a person who performs diagnostic imaging examinations,
working closely with a radiologist, a physician
who interprets medical images to either diagnose
or rule out disease or injury. For the images
to be interpreted correctly by the radiologist,
the imaging examination must be performed properly
by a radiologic technologist. The student may
work in the hospital setting, clinic, or physician’s office. There are also opportunities in the many post-certification areas with
additional education and clinical experience;
CT, MRI, Mammography, Sonography, Nuclear Medicine,
or Radiation Therapy among others.
Including the prerequisite core classes, the Radiologic Technology program takes
approximately 9-10 quarters to complete. After
completing the core and being admitted into
the program, the student can expect to graduate
in seven quarters. The student participates
in a structured didactic and clinical curriculum
as outlined in the Georgia Department of Technical
and Adult Education Radiography Standards,
and the Curriculum Guidelines of The American
Society of Radiologic Technologists.
