Radiology Technician: How much more can I make with a bachelor degree vs associates?
Q. I am thinking of pursuing an associates degree as a radiology technician. However there are programs that put me straight on the path to a bachelor degree. I want to know if the bachelor degree is worth my time, effort, and money. What is the difference of salary in general, and particularly Oklahoma?

A. The correct title is radiologic technologist. Technician is demeaning. You don't make any more with a bachelor. It is only necessary if you want to go into management or teaching.

Is there a difference in a Radiologist and Radiology Technician?
Q. The college I want to attend offers a major in Radiology Technician, and the coursework includes much more than just anatomy and XRays, and the description of the major says you'll have a job as a Radiologist.

A. there is a HUGE difference and there is a mistake in your course literature. you absolutely will not be a radiologist once you finish this course. Radiologists are MD who have completed 4 yrs college and 4 yrs medical school and completed a radiology training residency. Radiology tech takes the pictures for the radiologist to evaluate

A. You ask hard questions. You can generally find a job as a rad tech either FT, PT, or contingent. I don't know how to describe how hard it is. This obviously will be different for everybody. But yes, it is very challenging. And yes, it is usually 40 hours per week for 2 years - like a full time job without the pay. Demanding or not - depends on where you work. If you work at a quiet podiatrist's office x-raying feet all day, you might think it's laid back. If you work in a big trauma hospital, you might think it's demanding.

A. You won't have time to work while in med school, except for a brief period in the summer. That's a good time to get a job in the lab of one of your med school professors, so that they can write a good recommendation for the hospitals you apply to for internship/residency, and so that you'll gain the experience. Getting married isn't a bad idea, because you'll have someone to support you financially. But you may not have as much time as you'd like to devote to a relationship.

A. Sometimes, these terms are used to describe the same education and licensing. The correct term for a fully licensed x-ray tech is radiologic technologist (RT) or radiographer. A limited license tech is called a technician. A RT can do any examination which involves radiation. This includes fluoroscopy (esophagrams, barium enemas), arthrograms (evaluation of joints), myelograms (evaluation of the spinal canal), HSGs (evaluation of the fallopian tubes for fertility issues), surgical procedures and portable exams.

A. There are many schools in many states where you can get trained to be a radiologic technologist (the proper term for a x-ray tech). You can attend a hospital based program (and earn a certificate), a 2 year college program (AS degree), and even a 4 year college program (BS degree). The hospital based programs are the least expensive, and honestly, I think the education received there is superior. Once you graduate and take your registry exam, no future employer is going to care what type of educational program you went through. All they care about is your license. You can find an accredited RT program at this site. Just search "radiography" and your state...links are provided which will give you additional information on each program (cost [cont.]
