What do radiographers do?
As a radiographer, you are expected to capture images of the internal organs, soft tissues, and bones of patients using X-ray equipment. You might also assist radiologists with a range of procedures, such as fluoroscopic imaging or gastrointestinal exams that require the use of contrast media. You will be tested on the basic skills and knowledge needed for this profession through the Radiography exam.Once you pass the exam, the ARRT will register you as a certified radiographer who is competent to perform the role and fulfill the duties assigned to it. Being ARRT-certified will allow recognition of your qualifications and a way to show your professional standards.An important thing to note is that an ARRT license will not guarantee you a state license. If you want to obtain a state license, you must meet your preferred state’s requirements and apply there directly. If you are unsure, your state is your best source for state licensing information.
