is concerned‚ this field requires more of the technological advancement‚ as it will be easier for us to understand the human mechanism better. One of the important and earliest machine invented in this field is the x-ray. The x-ray was dicovered by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. The x-rays are used to obtain visual information as part of medical imaging. In these days the Radiology field‚ has different arrays of imaging technologies such as ultrasound‚ computed tomography (CT) nuclear

Radiology Technicians are a special group of individuals who specialize in X-Ray technology. These individuals have been specifically trained to take many types of X-rays. One study states “ Employment of Radiogrophy Technicians is projected to grow by 25% between 2006 and 2016” this means that this profession is in high demand. Therefor the three main reasons that Radiogrophy technicians are important to society is that they go through specialized training for their jobs‚ plus they must have a good
