Radiography Winona Campus OVERVIEW The Radiography Program equips students with educational experiences within classroom and clinical settings and prepares them for a rewarding career in medical imaging. Radiographers play a key role in the medical team, providing diagnostic radiology services in hospitals, clinics, and advanced medical imaging centers. Administering ionizing radiation, the radiographer produces images of any designated body part, including bones, joints, and internal organs. The radiographer instructs and positions patients, manipulates x-ray equipment, selects appropriate exposure factors, provides radiation protection, processes images and evaluates image quality. The employment outlook in medical imaging is excellent. In 2013, US News and World Report ranked radiologic technologist among the top 100 jobs, noting that the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts employment growth of about 21 percent between 2012 and 2022.
