101 Outstanding Sites for X-ray Technicians Radiography & Radiology | Medical Imaging Business | Imaging News & Blogs | Miscellaneous

X-Ray technology has been an important way to diagnose damage to bones and hard tissue for decades, and the market for x-ray technicians and professionals in other medical imaging fields is booming along with the entire medical industry. Applications of x-ray and other medical imaging technologies like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT), have diversified and an expertise in using a particular machine is a very marketable skill now. These sites showcase the diverse uses of medical imaging tech, especially x-ray, and the many professional positions for those who are trained in using x-ray machines.
