Description
The radiographer, a vital member of the healthcare team, utilizes sophisticated x-ray equipment to obtain diagnostically valuable images of any body part. In order to perform radiographic procedures, the radiographer must have a good working knowledge of not only human anatomy and radiographic procedures, but also radiation physics, principles of imaging, radiation protection and quality assurance. Employment opportunities include hospitals, private offices and outpatient clinics, and specialities such as mammography, computerized tomography, vascular and interventional radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The curriculum maintains clinical affiliations with many hospitals in southern Maine, as well as several orthopedic offices in Portland.
This program prepares individuals to become radiographers at the associate degree level. Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to apply to take the certification examination of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, ARRT.
