Job Description
Soldiers use radar to scan the battlefield and detect enemy
threats. As a Radiology Specialist, you'll use medical equipment to
scan your fellow Soldiers for a different kind of threat: injuries
and illness.
Radiology (the use of X-rays) is one of the many tools doctors use
to detect health problems. Working with Medical Corps Officers,
Army National Guard Radiology Specialists operate X-ray and
X-ray-related equipment to perform radiographic examinations.
Radiology Specialists also prepare, assemble, and adjust X-ray
instruments and materials, and assemble and disassemble radiology
equipment and shelters.
Job Duties
• Perform body section radiography, foreign body localization,
prenatal, pediatric, urogenital, and radiographic examinations of
the digestive, respiratory, vascular, and nervous systems
• Operate fixed and portable radiology equipment
• Inspect and perform operator maintenance on radiology
equipment
Some of the Skills You'll Learn

• Human structure and function
• Principles of radiation protection

Helpful Skills

Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience
to enjoy a civilian career as an X-ray technologist or a nuclear
medicine technologist with civilian hospitals, diagnostic clinics,
and medical laboratories. You may also be able to specialize in
other radiology disciplines and obtain certifications through
continued study and experience. Certain restrictions apply, and
specific educational criteria must be met.
