National Radiologic Technology Week
National Radiologic Technology Week® was observed November 5-9 this year. YKHC's Rad Tech team joined others nationwide in celebrating the importance of medical imaging and radiation oncology. Radologic Technicians use diagnostic and therapeutic technology on a daily basis to care for patients.
During the week, radiologic technologists reaffirm their commitment to patient health, increase awareness about the profession and celebrate the importance of their contributions to the medical community. This year's theme, "The Guiding Vision in Medicine," recognizes those who explore and innovate on a daily basis-the professionals who see inside the body to aid in healing the patient., radiologic technology is a vital link in patient care, providing the means by which pathologies may be determined, treatment planned and administered, and patient health restored.
