of Interventional radiology and/or cardiology within a Cath Lab (Catheterization Laboratory). |- |Computed Tomography||CT Radiographer, CT Technologist, or RT(R)(CT)||Computed Tomography (CT) (incl. MDCT/MSCT, EBCT, Sequential CT, etc.)||||Provides cross-sectional views (slices) of the body; can also reconstruct additional images from those taken to provide more information in either 2D or pseudo-3D. |- |Diagnostic Radiography||Diagnostic Radiographer, Radiologic Technologist, or RT(R)||Plain Film Radiography (PFD)||||Utilizes ionizing radiation in the examination of internal organs, bones, cavities and foreign objects. |- |Echocardiography||Sonographer, Ultrasound Technologist, Ultrasonographer, RT(R)(S)/RT(S)||2D, 3D and Doppler Sonography||||Utilizes 2D, 3D and Doppler Sonography to image the heart. |- |Fluoroscopy||Fluoroscoper, Fluoroscopic Technologist, or RT(R). In CA: RT(R)(F)||Fluoroscopy||||Utilizes continuous and/or pulses of ionising radiation to visualise the various systems of in the body over period of time. Often used in monitoring a bolus or contrast agent in order to highlight vessels and organs, or to position devices within the body (such as pacemakers, guidewires, stents, etc.). |- |Mammography/Breast Radiography||Mammographer, Mammographic Technologist, or RT(R)(M)||Mammographic Plain Film Radiography||||Uses low dose ionising radiation systems to produce images for the diagnosis and/or staging of breast disease, primarily breast cancer. |- |Magnetic Resonance Imaging||MRI Technologist or RT(R)(MR)||Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)||||Uses magnetic resonance and radiofrequency pulses for static, dynamic and function imaging. |- |Nuclear Medicine (NM)/Radionuclide Imaging (RNI)||Nuclear Medicine Radiographer, Nuclear Medicine Technologist, or RT(R)(N)/RT(N)||Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography, Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography(PET-CT) (all with or without the involvement of Radioactive Tracers)||||Uses radioactive tracers which can be administered to examine how the body and organs function. Certain radioisotopes can also be administered to treat certain cancers, such as thyroid cancer. Non-imaging modalities Non-imaging modalities vary, and are often undertaken in addition to imaging modalities. They commonly include: Academia – Education role. Clinical Management – Clinical managerial role which can be varied; may include managing audits, rotas, department budgets, etc. Clinical Research – Research role. Medical Physics – Multidisciplinary role ensuring the correct calibration of and most efficient use of diagnostic equipment. PACS Management – Managerial role concerned with maintaining and supervising appropriate and correct use of the RIS and PACS systems. Radiation Protection – A managerial role concerned with monitoring the level of ionizing radiation absorbed by anyone who comes into contact with ionising radiation at their site. Reporting Radiography – A clinical role involved with interpretation of radiographs and various other radiological media for diagnosis. Education and role variation Education varies worldwide due to legal limitations
