Graduates of the A.S. in Radiologic Technology program will possess professionalism and ethics consistent with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists Principles of Professional Conduct for Radiologic Technologists and Code of Ethics. A.S. in RT Program Description ARadiologicTechnologist is trained in the “art and science” of creating images of the human body using ionizing radiation. The radiologic technologist works closely with the radiology doctor (radiologist) and other physicians and plays a vital role as a professional member of the medical team. Technologists work in hospitals (general radiography, surgery, trauma, pediatrics, clinics), doctors’ offices, and imagingcenters. The role of radiologic science in medicine is continually growing.

Someclinical rotations and radiographic examinations are deemed “gender-specific,” such as mammography andthehysterosalpingogram(HSG).Whilemammographyisgenerallyperformedonfemales,theHSGisan examinationexclusively conducted on female patients.

However,clinical experience in these examinations may be limited to only female students.
