A Registered Technologist has the ability to further their eduction and obtain certifications in areas such as Mammogram, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance and many more!

I’ve also included the “Technologist Checklist” which is used during evaluating the patient. Please note that no technologists or student were hurt or traumatized during cases 1 and 2, but I cant say the same for case
