When you hear RT you will usually think oh that’s so easy all do you is look at bones and see where they are. We have 212 bones and we need to know every single one. We do more than look at bones. They also will do imaging exams like X-rays, computerized axial tomography, or CT, scans and mammograms.

And take the image we make sure that the image is good for the doctor, if not we would have to reposition them and take another x-ray. We will then either print or develop depending on if it is film or not. After that we will label it and then if needed will bring it to the
