Radiology is the branch or specialty of medicine that deals with the study and application of imaging technology like x-ray and radiation to diagnosing and treating disease.

Radiologists direct an array of imaging technologies (such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) to diagnose or treat disease. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies. The acquisition of medical imaging is usually carried out by the radiographer or radiologic technologist.

Outside of the medical field (in comparison), radiology also encompasses the examination of the inner structure of objects using X-rays or other penetrating radiation.

Acquisition of radiological images

The following imaging modalities are used in the field of diagnostic radiology:

Q. I would like to become a Radiology Technologist. Do I need to go to school for a Associates Degree or can I just get Certified (what's the quickest way to become one)?

How much is the starting salary?

A. Along with academics, to be a successful radiologic technologist student a person should be able to demonstrate compassion and patience. They should be flexible, and possess critical thinking skills so they can adapt normal procedures to patients needs and abilities. Their personality need not be extroverted and they should be able to communicate (verbal, written and non-verbally) in a clear and concise manner. An understanding of medical terminology and hospital procedures is also helpful prior to entering a program, but not required as the radiography curriculum will include this material.[3] A radiologic technologist in the U.S. is educated in a two-four year accredited (by the Joint Review Committee on educational programs in… [cont.]

A. Depending on the location it can be a variety of responsibilities. Places I have worked at in the past have differing names for these individuals. Used to be aides, transporters, dark room assistants (when they were used), etc. It was usually an off-shift where the assistant did all of the above duties. I am sure the pay stinks, but I am believe it will be an asset when applying for a program, if you are not already in. Getting to know the other technologists and students and showing your competency is always a benefit.
