Radiographers are individuals who are educated about delivering ionizing radiation. Radiographers are responsible for evaluating radiographs, applying radiation safety standards at all times, and administering contrast agents for better imaging. Radiographers also provide patient education and support and must possess a high level of interpersonal skills. Radiographers are employed by hospitals, clinics, mobile imaging units, urgent care centers, or diagnostic imaging centers.

Mission Statement

In accordance with the mission of the University of Rio/Rio Grande Community College, the Radiologic Technology program is designed to prepare students to be competent, entry-level radiographers and to contribute to the healthcare team.
