Wor-Wic's radiologic technology program provides students with a comprehensive didactic, laboratory and clinical education that prepares graduates with the technical expertise for employment in the profession. Graduates of the radiologic technology program exhibit the professional and personal attributes that contribute to the delivery of quality care to patients in our community. The program supports the college’s vision by developing an exceptional workforce through excellence in education.

Radiologic technologists use radiation to provide detailed images of the tissues, organs, bones and vessels of the human body, producing quality diagnostic examinations while providing essential patient care services. Technologists may assist the radiologist in fluoroscopy doing gastrointestinal procedures. They may also be in the operating room providing images to assist the surgeon. 

Graduates of this program have a comprehensive education in class content and simulate skills in the lab. Radiologic technologists are employed in hospitals, clinics, private offices, industry, civil service, public health facilities and educational institutions. They can pursue careers in computed tomography, angiography, ultrasonography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, cardiac catheterization, management or education.

Individuals who successfully complete the program can take a certification and licensure examination in radiography administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT®). State certification as a medical radiation technologist is required for employment in Maryland.
