  • Radiologic Technology at Montgomery College:
    Radiologic technologists, also known as radiographers, perform diagnostic imaging examinations, such as x-rays, on patients. The job outlook is expected to grow by 12% in the next ten years, and the 2017 median pay is $58,440. Learn to become a radiologic technologist in just two years by enrolling in Montgomery College's Radiologic Technology program.
    The mission of the Radiologic (X-Ray) Technology Program parallels the mission of MC. Students who enter and complete the Radiologic Technology Program are empowered to change their own lives as well as enrich the life of the local and global community as skilled, critically thinking, competent radiographers who possess integrity, accountability, empathy, a strong commitment to excellent customer service, and patient care skills while serving a diverse community.
    This is a two-year program. Students begin in the summer for nine weeks (summer session), then complete fall (15 weeks) and spring (15 weeks) semesters for their first year. Students attend a second nine week summer session as they transition to their second year. They complete the program with a fall (15 week) and a spring (15 week) semester, and graduate in May. Please note that there are general education credits required for the AAS degree awarded for completion of this program.

    I have a question for anyone in this field. I'd like to transition into a healthier career that involves lots of specialized skills but also a fair bit of physical work in a clean environment and I hear rad tech might fit the bill. How much standing, walking and moving about in a hospital setting do rad tech do in a typical shift? What about other physical duties such as setting up imaging equipment and helping to move patients physically (covid safely of course)?

Your job is basically to quickly and efficiently take people's xrays as much as it demands.

    I use Gamma Radiation, the worst one, for cancer treatments on myself.
    It has to be Gamma, because I don't want to go through therapy more than like 4 or 5 times ever, for stage 3 cancer, and, because I want to do it at home.
    So, gamma, is a wave, and you can direct it like a magnifying glass, and with the right distance to target, or lead sheeting, you can decide where the gamma rays end up.
    And, if they stay inside the patient, then it reduces exposure to the surrounding area and doctors and other patients.
    Because with the right medicine, it passes through the body, being reduced in intensity, until it gets to the sewer.
    Other kinds aren't as easy to direct.
    Interesting that it is called Gamma radiation. This comes from nuclear physics where it is the 3rd stage of atomic particle decay.
    Although it isn't a particle, it's a ray of light basically, akin to x rays, uv light, and visible light.

      Hi, to answer your question, most rad tech programs actually ask during the admissions process if you work, as they strongly recommend that students don’t work at all during the two year program because between the classroom instruction and clinical experience, it totals the time of a full time job on a weekly basis. Hope this answers that.

    I see that in most countries they work 8
    hours a day or 40 hours a week, in my country is 6 hours a day or 30 hours a week, and you can work 12 hours a day but then you have more rest days.
    My question is why do they work 40 hours in a week?
    They try to do it in our country too, the reason is newer devices have less radiation.
    And then someone is released from work because of radiation, we cannot give blood because we are in the radiation zone, etc.
