Career Opportunities and Interviews

Pursuing a medical imaging degree can open up an individual’s career in several health professions.

The following are the potential career opportunities and specializations individuals can pursue after earning a degree in this field:

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapists assist a medical team in planning and administering treatments prescribed by radiation oncologists or radiologists to patients. Therapists also help monitor these patients’ conditions.

Radiologists typically prescribe radiation therapy for individuals with cancer or other serious diseases.

Radiation therapists use specialized imaging equipment that delivers therapeutic doses of radiation to individuals undergoing therapy.

Radiography

A radiographer captures images of an individual’s tissues, bones, and internal organs using X-ray equipment.

Radiologic technologists who enter the medical imaging field will typically start their profession as radiographers(12).

Radiographers also support radiologists in various procedures, such as gastrointestinal examinations or fluoroscopic imaging, that require using contrast media.

Contrast media are substances given to an individual to help improve the contrast resolution of various imaging modalities(13). Administration routes to deliver contrast media include oral or intravenous methods.

Registered Radiologist Assistant (RRA)

RRAs are essential medical team members that assist radiologists in performing various clinical duties, such as managing and assessing patients.

This career creates new opportunities for individuals who wish to pursue advancement in their radiology-related profession.

When the demand for medical imaging services increases, it can stretch medical resources and radiology teams thin(14).

Thus, some medical institutions turn to RRAs to provide high-level assistance to radiologists and improve the facility’s efficiency and patient care.

Bone Densitometry

A bone densitometry technologist uses specialized X-ray equipment to create images, which helps physicians diagnose and treat bone health conditions.

Scanning results can assist patients, while their health providers discuss treatment options for adverse bone conditions. These options include lifestyle changes or medications.

Breast Sonography

Breast sonographers conduct medical imaging using a transducer on the patient’s breast to produce ultrasound images. A transducer is a tool that converts a form of energy, such as sound, into electronic signals.

Breast sonograms are noninvasive, meaning these procedures do not involve inserting an instrument or device into the body. Sonograms create images using sound energy instead of radiation.

Sonographers also participate in interventional procedures, such as biopsies or removal of tissues for disease examination.

Sonographers need the appropriate knowledge to capture high-quality images and provide a calming presence to individuals being scanned(15).

Cardiac Interventional Radiography

Cardiac interventional radiographers use image-guided and minimally invasive procedures to assist physicians in diagnosing and treating heart and blood vessel conditions without surgery.

Radiographers are likely to assist in procedures such as thrombolysis, angioplasty, and biopsies(16).

Thrombolysis is a procedure that uses drugs that help dissolve blood clots. Meanwhile, angioplasty is a medical process to restore blood flow by opening blocked arteries.

Cardiac interventional radiographers utilize fluoroscopic equipment to produce images of the heart and surrounding blood vessels.

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique using X-rays to produce real-time moving images for observing body parts.

Computed Tomography (CT)

CT technologists usually work in imaging laboratories or hospitals and use X-ray equipment to scan various body parts.

Doctors utilize these CT-generated images to diagnose or treat a patient’s disease. CT scans are also helpful for physical injuries so that physicians can determine the appropriate remedy for the wound.

CT scans involve X-ray exposure. Thus, CT technologists must have the appropriate knowledge and skills to balance image quality with the radiation dose.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI technologists perform MRI procedures, which utilize the atomic frequencies within a magnetic field to generate images of the physiologic or anatomic body conditions.

Radiologists review these images to diagnose and treat patients. Therefore, MRI technologists must be capable of obtaining the best possible images.

The MRI equipment places the individual being scanned inside a confined space, which can cause them to become claustrophobic or distressed. MRI technologists must be skilled and considerate when supporting patients undergoing the procedure.

Mammography

Mammography is an essential part of medical care as it can help in the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast diseases.

The ARRT states that, since 1990, mammography has helped lower breast cancer-related deaths by almost one-third(17).

Mammographers operate specialized imaging equipment to produce images that aid physicians in detecting breast diseases such as breast cancer, even during the early stages.

Nuclear Medicine Technology

Nuclear medicine technologists create images using imaging equipment that detects radiopharmaceutical agents administered to an individual as part of the image capture procedure.

Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive agents that help diagnose medical conditions. The medical imaging equipment’s camera scans these agents, which appear on the image to help doctors analyze the condition(18).

Nuclear medicine technology is an advanced area of health care that involves evaluating and diagnosing severe medical conditions, such as cancer and heart disease.

Sonography

Ultrasound technologists, also called sonographers, operate medical imaging equipment that utilizes nonionizing ultrasonic frequency sound waves to obtain images of an individual’s internal organs and tissues.

This procedure has clinical applications, such as in gynecology and obstetrics. For example, the sonographer uses ultrasound equipment to develop images of the baby inside a mother’s womb.

Facilities and institutions where sonographers can gain career opportunities include diagnostic clinics, hospitals, and physicians’ offices.

Vascular Interventional Radiography

The job of vascular interventional radiographers is to assist doctors through the use of image-guided vascular procedures, such as thrombolysis and angioplasty.

These procedures use advanced fluoroscopic equipment and are minimally invasive. Vascular interventional radiographers must have the appropriate skills to operate these pieces of equipment to produce high-quality images of the blood vessels.

Vascular Sonography

Sonographers use ultrasound equipment that utilizes sound waves at ultrasonic frequencies to produce images of an individual’s arteries and veins.

The images produced through this method show blood movement through the vessels and the structure and condition of internal organs. Doctors utilize these images to diagnose and treat various medical conditions.

Vascular sonographers also provide information about the procedure to patients, such as precautions and what to expect, and support them during the imaging process.

Salary

According to the May 2021 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), magnetic resonance imaging technologists had a median annual wage of $77,360(19).

X-ray Technologist (X-ray Tech) vs. Radiologic Technologist

In general, radiologic technologists have the skills to perform advanced imaging procedures and operate a wide range of imaging equipment, including X-ray, MRI, or CT machines(24).

However, X-ray technologists, sometimes called X-ray technicians or radiologic technicians by some employers, are limited to operating X-ray machines and guiding patients through the procedure.

X-ray technicians support physicians and other medical staff in providing patient care by operating imaging equipment that uses X-rays to produce images radiologists use to analyze and interpret(25).

The technician primarily sets up the imaging equipment to be used and performs the X-ray image capture procedure on the patient to be scanned.

The technician also focuses on the patient by preparing the patient mentally, physically, and emotionally for the procedure.

Technicians typically work for private medical institutions and can also perform imaging on the patient’s extremities.

Requirements for technicians may vary from state to state. However, academic requirements typically include a high school diploma and the completion of a radiologic technician training program.

On the other hand, a radiologic technologist’s role includes assisting a physician during and after a procedure and administering therapeutic radiation to patients. Technologists are responsible for maintaining and operating imaging equipment, preparing patients for procedures, and assisting physicians in evaluating images.

Technologists are also present during sonograms, mammograms, CT scans, MRIs, nuclear medical treatment, and radiation therapy.

Academic requirements for technologists include completing an associate’s degree in radiologic technology or bachelor’s degree program and acquiring a certification from the ARRT to obtain licensure.

Similar to X-ray technician requirements, radiologic technologist requirements may vary from one state to another.
