What Is The Difference With A Medical X-ray Tech And Radiologic Tech?
R T has been a long term goal for me. I’ve done lots of research on the field, but I’ve come across a school in kansas city, mo that has a medical x-ray tech program. I would like to start work in the field and work my way up. I want to return to school to get more education, but what is the difference medical x-ray tech / radiology tech?
I am an x-ray student in a bachelor x-ray program. Right now, when you graduate from an X-ray school you will have to take a registry exam to get a license from ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologist). So no matter you’re being called x-ray tech, radiology tech, medical radiographer or etc.. it is all the same as long as u get the license. Just keep in mind that if you want to get into a x-ray school, you might want to check the ARRT website and see if the school is accredited by ARRT. Here’s the link. http://www.arrt.org/index.html?content=h…
You can check the website for more information. I’m graduating next month and so far most of my classmates have a tuff time finding a job. It might be the economy or america is just flooded with too many x-ray school. But good luck if you want to become an x-ray techologist and hopefully when u complete your course work you will have a job.
I personally don’t know the difference in the two, unless the medical x-ray tech works in a forensics/medical science field. That, however, is speculation on my part. It’s great that you have desires to return to school to further your education and I wish you the best of luck.
