Radiologic Technology
A radiologic technologist is someone who specializes in using x-rays to create images of the body. The radiographs that are produced by the radiographer enable the doctor to diagnose the patient for disease, fractures, or any irregularities. Therefore, as a radiographer, you must be a professional skilled in the art and science of radiography and able to apply scientific knowledge, problem-solving techniques, and use high-tech equipment, while providing quality patient care. Technologists are in demand in hospitals, clinics, physicians’ and dentists’ offices.

Mission:

The mission of our program is to provide graduates with cognitive, psychomotor, and affective behaviors through educational opportunities in Radiologic Technology, therefore providing Indianapolis and the surrounding areas with competent individuals to function within a healthcare environment.

Goals:
  • Graduate students with entry level employment skills.
  • Fulfill the need for Radiologic Technologists in the local and regional communities of our clinical affiliates.
  • Prepare students for life-long learning.

"Without Ivy Tech, I would not be where I am today. Ivy Tech has opened so many doors within life for myself. Four months after graduation I found a job that was just what I was looking for. Every day is an adventure and I learn something new or meet someone new and interesting."
