Career as Radiological Assistant

share

A radiologist assistant, sometimes referred to as a radiologic technologist, works under the supervision of a licensed radiologist to diagnose and treat injuries or disease. Some of their duties are to take a patient's medical history, perform radiologic procedures and evaluate the information seen in diagnostic images. Radiography assistants and imaging support workers assist qualified diagnostic and therapeutic radiographers. Assistant practitioners are an emerging role within the NHS.
