Radiologic Technology is the use of imaging that helps to diagnose and treat illnesses. Online courses offer associate degrees and certificates, as well as more advanced degrees such as a bachelors or masters. Radiologic Technology is used in computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, and in fluoroscopy. With a degree from an online school or college that has been approved by The American Medical Association you can ensure that you will receive a great education.
A good online degree program will train you in the importance of radiology technology like computed tomography scanning, ultrasound, radio waves, x-rays, magnetic imaging and other imaging technology. Online programs can provide you with the skills needed to work in physicians' offices, hospitals, imaging centers, medical laboratories, outpatient care centers, and other
health care facilities.
