The Basic X-Ray Machine Operator Diploma Program provides
students with skills and training necessary to begin working as
an X-Ray Machine Operator. X-Ray technicians operate x-ray
equipment to help physicians, dentists, and other health
professionals treat and diagnose patients. The Basic X-Ray
Machine Operator course qualifies for Florida approval to take
the ARRT certification examination.
Employment of x-ray technicians continues to increase as more
patients enter the health care system. As a result of population
growth and aging, the field is expected to increase by about 15
percent from 2006 to 2016.
Most X-Ray Machine Operators work in hospitals, but a number of
new jobs will be found in the offices of physicians and
diagnostic imaging centers. Health facilities such as these are
expected to become more common, because of the shift toward
outpatient care, made possible by technological advances which
have permitted more procedures to be performed outside of a
hospital environment.
X-Ray Machine Operators produce x-ray films (radiographs) of
parts of the human body for use in diagnosing medical ailments.
They prepare patients for radiologic examinations by explaining
the procedure, removing jewelry and other articles through which
x-rays cannot pass, and positioning patients so that the parts of
the body can be appropriately documented. Using instruments
similar to a measuring tape, they may measure the thickness of
the section to be imaged and set controls on the x-ray machine to
produce radiographs of the appropriate density, detail, and
contrast.
Candidates for this course of study will receive training in
basic anatomy, use of medical X-ray equipment, general patient
care, and proper techniques to effectively position patients who
are in need of medical x-ray services.
Our Basic X-Ray Machine Operator Diploma Program includes the
following specialized classes to assist you in your new career
path:
By practicing your new skills in realistic work environments, you
can begin your search for an entry-level x-ray position with the
confidence that you possess the skill set required of prospective
employees.
