Diagnostic Imaging Services

Diagnostic imaging is a science combining advanced technology and human compassion. The radiographer performs various radiographic or X-ray examinations on the human body for use in diagnosing medical problems. The radiographer uses knowledge of physics, radiographic exposure, human anatomy, physiology and pathology to create a permanent diagnostic medical image.

The radiographer performs routine and emergency X-ray exams, assists in special radiographic procedures and performs portable radiography in an operating room or at the patient’s bedside. Many radiographic procedures require the use of contrast media, which enables radiographers to study organs that
otherwise may not be seen on a radiograph. The radiographer works closely with the radiologist, who specializes in interpreting radiographic images.
