Radiology Technology  



Welcome to the WCCC Radiology Technology Web Site
Division of Health Professions/Biology
The radiology technology program offers the academic preparation and clinical training needed for a career as a Radiologic Technologist (Radiographer). While many radiographers provide services in a hospital setting, others provide services in standalone medical imaging centers, mobile radiography providers, and private physician offices. Radiography is the gateway to most other specialized imaging modalities. With additional education through either employer based training or formal education, radiographers can progress to careers in Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Angiography, Mammography, and Quality Management. The program includes clinical experience in various off campus locations that provide radiologic imaging services. 

Students who complete the radiology technology program satisfactorily are eligible to apply to take the ARRT national certification exam.
Career Opportunities
Students completing this program will be qualified to enter the work world as an entry-level radiographer. Radiographers may find employment opportunities with hospitals, stand alone medical imaging centers, mobile imaging providers, and private practice physicians.
