Employment Opportunities
With an AAS in Radiography, you will be prepared to work as a Radiologic Technologist or Radiographer in a hospital, clinic, physician’s office or using an industrial x-ray, such as in the aerospace industry.
Radiologic Technologists (Radiographers) use radiation (X-rays) to produce images of anatomy to perform diagnostic imaging examinations and administer radiation therapy treatments. The images are captured on film, computer or videotape. X-rays may be used to detect bone fractures, find foreign objects in the body and demonstrate the relationship between bone and soft tissue.
Salaries vary depending on the region, workplace and skill level.
Certification
Upon completion, you will be eligible to take the national certification examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
Many states require practicing Technologists to be licensed, and you may be able to use your ARRT certification to fulfill state regulations depending on the state. If you want to practice in Utah, you must be licensed as a Radiologic Technologist by the state.
