Radiologic Technologists (also called radiographers or X-ray techs) are healthcare professionals who operate imaging equipment to perform X-rays and other diagnostic tests. They position patients, ensure radiation safety, and work closely with radiologists and physicians to provide images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
In New Jersey, Radiologic Technologists must complete an accredited radiography program, pass the ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) certification exam, and obtain a license from the New Jersey Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners. Continuing education is required for license renewal every two years.
