The curriculum for radiologic technology and related programmes include coursework as well as a series of supervised clinical exercises where students learn how to position patients and perform procedures. A background check, immunisations, and a physical examination may be required prior to entering these programmes. Applicants can pursue certificate courses, diploma courses, as well as a bachelor's course in the field of radiology. Duration of the diploma course is one year and two years, eligibility is 10+2 preferably with Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Math or equivalent in any stream from a recognised board or university.
CAREER OPPORTUNITY
Dr. Aruna Singh, Principal, Delhi Paramedical and Management Institute, says, a career in radiologic technology can lead in many directions. Radiologic technologists are needed in every health care setting. You could work in a large hospital, a suburban outpatient clinic or a rural physician's office. You could specialise in dozens of clinical areas ranging from prenatal care to orthopedics. You could manage an entire radiology department, including its budget and personnel. You could teach, inspiring new generations of radiologic technologists, or you could perform research that leads to breakthroughs in diagnostic imaging or radiation therapy. With additional education, you could become a radiologist assistant, expanding your capabilities by serving as a radiologist extender. The boundaries of your career in radiologic technology are determined only by your own abilities and interests.
NECESSARY SKILLS AND QUALITIES
Good communication skills, a focus on detail, and careful attention to procedure are essential to success as a radiology technician. Physical strength is needed to position patients, and at times, to lift them onto examination tables. As with health care professionals in general, empathy, cultural sensitivity, and high ethical standards are necessary as well.
REMUNERATION
A career in radiography can be very promising. In India, the average starting salary of a radiographer ranges between Rs 7,000 and Rs 10, 000 per month in government/private hospitals. However, earnings are more in private practice as compared to salaried jobs. A large aging population in need of imaging to diagnose and treat medical conditions should keep demand strong for radiologic technologists. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts employment growth of about 9 per cent between 2014 and 2024 for this profession, and 17,200 new positions will need to be filled.
Opportunities are also there in gulf countries and Middle East countries. In these countries radiographers get salaries between Rs 30, 000 and Rs 50,000 per month. In UK, the average starting salary of a newly qualified Radiographer is around 17,000 Pound per year, which is much more than what it is in India. You can study at Delhi based Delhi Paramedical and Management Institute for the certificate and diploma course in radio imaging technology.
