Health care professionals are in high demand and none more so than radiological technologists. According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for radiologic technologists is expected to grow faster than the national average for jobs in other fields.

Radiography Program:
Imagine Yourself as a
Radiologic Technologist
South Florida Community College’s Radiography program is your ticket – not only to a well-paying job but to a rewarding career as an integral part of the healthcare team.
By completing two years of instruction in classroom and clinical settings, you will earn your associate in applied science degree in Radiography and be eligible to apply to take the The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) national examination for certification and registration.
Radiologic technologists may specialize in such fields as:
- Computer tomography (CT) scans, which produce cross-sectional images of the body with the use of X-rays.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which provides diagnostic information about physiological conditions as well as the anatomical structure of the body’s tissue without the use of X-radiation.
- Cardiac-Interventional and Vascular-Interventional radiography, which uses catheter or needle techniques to diagnose and treat disease.
- Mamography, the specialized radiographic examination of the mammary glands to detect early breast cancers before they spread.
Radiologic technologists are employed primarily by hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers.
