X-Ray Tech Programs with Prerequisite and Coursework Information
Read about associate's programs in x-ray technology. Get information on admission requirements and common coursework, and learn about popular career options and salary potential after graduation.
Essential Information
X-ray technology programs, also known as radiography or radiologic technology programs, are offered at 2-year schools and most commonly lead to an associate's degree. Nearly all programs in this field include both didactic and clinical coursework that explores the many facets of operating radiology equipment, including x-ray machines and CT scanners. Completion of an undergraduate program can prepare students for licensure or certification in the field, which is required in some states. Graduates are qualified for work as x-ray technicians or radiologic technologists.
Educational Prerequisites
An associate's degree in x-ray technology program requires potential students to have received their high school diploma or its equivalent. Applicants are expected to have successfully completed science, algebra, biology or physics courses during prior studies.
Program Coursework
An associate's degree program in x-ray technology combines both academic and clinical facets and takes two years to complete. The first year is made up of mostly classroom and theoretical work, while the second year is almost purely practical in nature. The second half of the program prepares students to directly transition into a career; many students gain employment at the same hospital or healthcare facility in which they have been interning.
Program coursework addresses the use of x-ray machinery in a healthcare setting and the role of x-rays results. Students gain knowledge of human anatomy and radiologic technology. Courses include the following:
- Algebra
- Physical education
- Physics
- Health science
- Radiography
- Radiologic anatomy
- Principals of x-ray exposure
- Modality imaging
- Patient positioning
Employment Outlook and Salary Info
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of radiologic technologists will increase by 28% from 2010-2020, which is faster than the average occupation. Most x-ray jobs are located within hospitals. In May 2012, the median annual salary of radiologic technologists was $54,620, with the highest-paid ten percent of workers earning more than $77,160.
Voluntary certification is available to radiologic technologists seeking career advancement. Certification is available through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), which also provides licensing tests for 35 states. Re-certification requires 24 hours of continuing education every two years.

The latest numbers say that migratory population of Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) has declined by 90% in the last 20 years. (Learn more in this blog post I wrote.) With that staggering number fresh in our minds, I'm wondering who has spotted monarch butterflies or caterpillars in 2014? Tell us where you are and what you've seen, and feel free to include photos if you have them. (Need help posting photos? Click here.)
I'm fortunate enough to see monarchs year-round in Tampa, Florida. Our population doesn't migrate, and it continues to go strong.

It a funny thing. I have never seen the Butterflys but I have had the cats on my milkweed so obviously they were here somewhere. LOL The 1st year I didn't know what on earth ate all the leaves on my one & only milkweed plant. The following year I bought some more plants & saw the cats on there which somebody here identified for me so then I knew what happened the previous year.
This year I saw 2 cats on my milkweed & when I looked for them again they were gone.
My milkweed has some kind of mildew or fungus this year so that probably has something to do with it.
This was a couple of years ago
The two I saw this year were much smaller & disappeared after a day.

I have seen the normal amount of Monarchs this year, but I have seen more cats than usual. They seem to prefer my Native Swamp Milkweed, but I did find 1 on the orange Asclepias. They Monarchs were later than usual arriving, but I attribute that to our cooler than average June.
Here is the cat on the orange asclepias

I have 6 chrysalis in my butterfly cage. These cats were munching on my Tropic Milkweed. After placing them in the cage I fed them both Tropic and Common. I have not seen any adults flying yet. But they had to be around to have these cats. Hopefully these 6 will emerge this week or the next. I plan to do a program with the Kindergarten students. (I also have a "rearing kit" coming from Monarch Watch with some instars the week of Sept 22. These, that I am watching now were a happy addition. I wish I had ordered tags too.
Here are some recent photos. When they emerge I will complete my photo cycles more.
I live in Eastover North Carolina..near Fayetteville,NC/Raleigh NC

I saw my first one today here in Lilburn today. I had a few native butterfly weed plants already. Earlier this year I planted 4 milkweed plants. I had 5 cats on them but only one made it to a butterfly. I hope by adding more host plants that I would make my garden a stop off for more butterflies on their journey.

I saw one or 2 up here where I recently moved in Elizabethtown, PA. Have seen a lot of swallowtails, though! I think if I had nice bf bushes, I'd surely see more! Was just thinking there must be fewer monarchs this summer! Maybe the weather?
September 1, 2014 at 5:58 pm #5279729 Report Abuse
Living in Cape Coral Fl, we have them year round, although this Summer there have been more than ever. I have not seen any cats, but the adults seem to like my fire bush. My back yard is very sheltered with trees and bushes and only a minimal amount of flowers at this time of year. I will get some milkweed plants.

The world has three new Monarch butterflies today. All Females. They emerged from their chrysalis this afternoon. I still am watching for three more to emerge. Two look like they are about ready. I can see the dark lines of their wings through the chrysalis now.

It's been an exciting summer here, with butterflies returning after a 2-year absence! Prior years I've raised 20-30 Monarchs, but 2012 saw only a couple (and no caterpillars), then last summer, none. I was so happy when they started showing up about a month ago
This was one of the first eggs I found, so far have collected 12, with 10 hatching into healthy caterpillars … left more in the garden so as not to overcrowd my butterfly house
One of the newborns, about 5 hours old, almost the size of a pencil eraser
A good way to find new caterpillars in the garden is to look for a small circular hole in the milkweed leaf. The newborns seem to always chew in that circle first (after eating their eggshell) before growing a bit and moving around the leaf.
Posting this now, before it disappears on me like it's done 3 times already, lol!

My Last three Monarch emerged yesterday morning. Two females and one male. The last one… I videotaped the emerge and here she is. Hope this links right, if not here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkimKG0bMJI&feature=em-upload_owner#action=share
I saw one in the yard this morning and wondered if it was one of my "babies" or a new arrival.

I have seen 3 caterpillars , but can't find them now, perhaps they crawled away to become a chyrsalis? I only saw one or two butterflies.

I live in South Miami FL & I have monarchs year round. I have a chrysalis on my fence that will hatch soon. Sometimes I will have 8-10 hanging on the fence at one time. It is such a mission to keep them around. The cats strip the milkweed plants & when they hatch they have no blooms to feed on. I run out & buy more milkweed only to have it stripped completely in 2 days. I baby the milkweed plants (sticks) and they do grow back. As soon as they grow their leaves they're stripped again. I guess I need to plant a HUGE garden of milkweed. :) I have to watch my dogs because they have stepped on them when newly hatched. :( Like I said it is a mission but I will continue to help the monarch population.

continued Provoncha told students how he joined the Air Force. He graduated from Ti High on a Saturday. The next morning his father asked about his future plans when Provoncha came to breakfast. Saying he had given the Air Force a passing thought, Provoncha's father immediately picked up the phone and called an Air Force recruiter.
"Sunday night I had dinner in Texas," Provoncha said, recalling his arrival at basic training.
Paquette worked as an accountant for the Army in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. She urged the girls at the program to consider the military, noting it offers many opportunities.
Provoncha agreed, pointing out there are hundreds of roles for people.
"We've had a lot of jobs," Provoncha said. "The military needs cooks, dishwashers, infantry, pilots, you name it. We're all veterans, we all served."
Keith Barber, a retired Ti Elementary teacher and member of the Sons of the American Legion, organized the Veterans Day program. He also conducts student programs to mark the Pearl Harbor anniversary Dec. 7 and the battle of Midway in June. He also organizes a student trip to the Ticonderoga Veterans of Foreign Wars Post each spring, where students meet veterans and learn about military service.
"It's important our students meet these people and learn about them," Barber said.
The Veterans Day program ended with a birthday party for Smith. Students sang "Happy Birthday" and presented him with cards. They then shared cake with the veterans.

We had an outstanding time & great weather as well--We will miss the Lakeside Getaway next year !!!
This was our 2nd year @ this rental house in Sugar Spring Resort. Our family of 10 (grandparents, parents & grandchildren) of 3 generations enjoyed the space this home offers. The dining room allows all of us to sit down and enjoy a meal together as well as a living room that provides enough room to play games together. The lake view is great and when needing to come in from the cold it's not to far to come in, warm up and get back out on the ice. A good rental for large families
Each year we rent a place to spend time with the children and grandchildren. Awesome doesn't begin to describe the beauty of this location. The dining and living area looked right out on the lake. The lake had a backdrop of wonderful fall colors. The house was very clean. The description was accurate. It is well laid out; there were 13 of us and we never felt crowded. We had 8 children and they enjoyed the playground. The older children spent time canoeing. Everyone loved the indoor pool. We had fun roasting hotdogs and making smores. We visited an apple farm and watched cider being made. We bought apples, cider and scrumptious doughnuts at the farm. There are lots of other activities in the area, but our time was limited to the long weekend. We would enjoy going again when it is warm enough to swim in the lake.
We had a wonderful week with our family at The Lakeside Getaway! There were 9 of us and there was plenty of room. We didn't spend much time in the house though! The house has a beautiful location right on the lake and next to the playscape which our grandchildren made good use of! The rec center with the pool, basketball and bocce ball was a hit as well. We made use of the pool on the one rainy day we had. There was plenty to keep us busy!! We visited Larrys for ice cream a few times-delicious! Would definitely come back again. Only negative I can think of is that we could not find a local bike trail but the roads are quiet and the kids loved riding their bikes on the hills!!
The home allowed ample space for our extended family to enjoy the togetherness of a family vacation while giving each family privacy throughout the week. The view from our porch was incredibly relaxing! We enjoyed all of our meals and many nights of card games at the patio table under the awning. The beach was close enough that the kids could play in the water while we sat outside or played corn hole. Every evening ended with a bonfire, of course! We also enjoyed the many amenities offered by the Sugar Springs Resort. Bocce ball, basketball and swimming were some of our favorites! Thank you for offering a spacious, comfortable property for travelers to feel at home when away from home! We hope to be back soon!
This is the second year that my extended family stayed at the Lakeside GetAway, and once again it was wonderful. The area is peaceful and beautiful, the house is clean, well kept and spacious with enough sleeping space for everyone. The yard is lovely, and the beach and play area are nice and close. Everyone in my family loves staying here and we will be booking again for next year!
great location. home was well stocked.

Scientists create flicker-free, shatterproof alternative to fluorescent lights
Post-doctoral fellow Wanyi Nie, inspecting a FIPEL light
David Carroll (right) and graduate student Greg Smith, with a couple of the FIPEL lights
Article Summary
Fluorescent lights are one of those things that you see everywhere, but that nobody likes. They flicker, they hum, they produce a rather unattractive light, plus they're fragile and contain toxic substances. They may also be on their way out – scientists from North Carolina's Wake Forest University have created a new form of lighting that they say could be used in the same large-scale applications as fluorescent bulbs, but that lacks their shortcomings.

BOTHELL, Wash. -- 9-year-old Rachel Beckwith was critically injured in the pileup accident on I-90 two days ago. The pastor at her church says Harborview doctors have given her family heartbreaking news.
They realized the spinal chord was severed so there was nothing that doctors could do, says Jeremy Johnson, the teaching pastor at Eastlake Church in Bothell.
Her family and her church are determined that her energy lives on.
She just throws everything she has into what she believes in, Johnson says.
Johnson says for her last birthday, Rachel gave everything she could to a charity that provides clean water to developing countries.
She didn't want any presents. She didn't want a celebration, says Johnson. She wanted to donate all of that to Charity Water. Her goal, her big crazy goal, was to raise three hundred dollars so that 15 kids in Africa would have safe clean water.
She fell short 80 dollars. So tonight, through their website and Twitter, Eastlake Church decided to publicize her fund raising mission. And the donations started flowing in, raising about a thousand dollars an hour at last check for Charity Water.
Even in her last hours, this young girl is teaching others to give.
I've learned that I need to act now, that I need to be selfless, and out of my selflessness I can make a difference, says Johnson.
If you're interested in helping Rachel's cause, visit her website here: www.mycharitywater.org/p/campaign.
Her church is also trying to raise money for her medical bills. To visit their website, click here.

Remember how Sony blew the doors off of E3 when they announced that they had no new DRM plans for the PlayStation 4? Well, it turns out that after that conference, Microsoft considered their solution to be – wait for it – to remove the disc drive from the Xbox One altogether.

Over 2,000 Masinloc fishermen displaced due to shoal row
More News from INQUIRER.net
MASINLOC, Zambales – Over 2000 fishermen are now unable to fish in Scarborough Shoal as a result of the ownership dispute between the Philippines and China, Mayor Desiree Edora said here Wednesday.
An estimated 80 percent of the revenue of the municipality comes from fishing with each fisherman being able to catch up to a ton of fish per trip, Edora said.
Miguel Betana, a fisherman here for 12 years, said that they were not doing anything now but paint their boats.
Macario Corones, a boat owner, said that some of the fishermen he hired have gone back to their hometown in Cebu because they could not fish due to the standoff that started in April.
Vice Mayor Jeffrey Bautista is confident that the Philippines will get the shoal upon resolution by the United Nations.

Many who grew up with snail mail ready to let go
Thursday - 2/7/2013, 5:42pm EST
Associated Press
SEAL BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- The mailbox was once the link to the outside world for older people.
But many residents of Leisure World, a retirement village in California, say they don't care about losing Saturday mail delivery.
Now there's email for letter-writing and Facebook for keeping in touch with friends and relatives. And there's snail mail for ... Well, for what, really?
Some people might remember the days of waiting anxiously for the Sears catalog to land in their mailbox.
But those days died long before the U.S. Postal Service announcement this week that it plans to kill Saturday deliveries except for packages.
Lynette Waltner recalls a time when her grandmother waited excitedly at the mailbox for her Lane Bryant catalog.
But the 77-year-old Waltner says she prefers to spend Saturdays golfing.

Ever since the announcement of James Levine's resignation from his position as Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (which you can read and hear about via our BSO broadcast producer Brian Bell's interview with Mark Volpe, Managing Director of the BSO, and segments on both the Emily Rooney Show and the Callie Crossley Show), one of the names that's popped up consistently as a potential successor to Levine is that of Andris Nelsons.
I'm pretty sure his name would be on most observers' short lists no matter what, based on reviews and impressions of his work as conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in England. But the BSO fanned those flames substantially by engaging the 32-year-old Latvian to replace Levine for the BSO's Carnegie Hall performance of Mahler's Ninth Symphony on March 17.
And here are a few impressions from that concert:
Jeremy Eichler of the Boston Globe wrote that, "he scored a triumph on Thursday night in his BSO debut ... And in what is high praise from this orchestra, the BSO musicians stayed seated during one of Nelsons's bows and joined the crowd in applauding him, shuffling feet vigorously." Eichler described his presence on the podium as "youthful but unflashy, leading with a podium technique that is far from conventional," which led to an "organic quality of the music-making, a sense of deep and thoughtful immersion in the musical moment at hand" and "some of the strongest playing of the season."
Overall, Eichler saw and heard "the full partnering of conductor and ensemble in the creation of a vibrant performance." Read the full review at the Boston Globe.
Meanwhile, at the New York Times, James Oestreich heard something quite different from the Nelsons/BSO combo. According to him, Nelsons "did not have [the BSO] sounding its best. It wasn't so much a question of wrong notes or rhythms and the like, though there were those. It was more a matter of blatancy and imbalance." Calling the performance "muscular" (and that's not meant as praise in this work), he went on to say that, "Almost everything was at least a notch too loud, and almost everything surged to the foreground. Textures were cluttered. Accompanimental figures often seemed italicized."
It wasn't completely unsuccessful, as "Mr. Nelsons persuasively stressed the humor in the scherzo and the wildness in the Rondo-Burleske." But clearly Oestreich is not yet convinced that this relationship need be explored further. Full review (plus impressions of the concert conducted by Roberto Abbado, available at the New York Times.
Finally, a blog I only became aware of because of this concert, thousandfold echo, says that Oestreich's perceptions were accurate, but that rather than consider them a negative, the attention to detail is actually a positive: "Some approach Mahler's intricate counterpoint by thinning out and clarifying the textures; Nelsons and the BSO took a more satisfying approach of endowing the inner voices with soloistic color and phrasing. Yet this attention to phrasing never broke up the line or descended to fussy point-making; it all seemed natural."
And the writer, Michael, noticed the same reaction of the players after the performance concluded: "When he came out for the second curtain call, the orchestra refused to rise, and sat there applauding him, until he took a solo bow. By this time the audience was on its feet."
That last point may turn out to be vitally important. Part of the reason Levine came to the BSO in the first place was the enthusiasm of the players for his work. And major orchestras like the BSO can be downright cranky when they're not on board with a conductor. So if there really is the enthusiasm from the musicians as described in two of these three reviews, BSO management will, in my opinion, be very wise in considering another opportunity to bring in Andris Nelsons for a series of concerts.
I can say, by the way, that Andris Nelsons is a name I thought of, too, when Levine's departure was announced. In the series of concert performances I program for the radio each Wednesday afternoon at 2pm, there have been a couple conducted by him, and my memory of these one-time-use recordings is that they were stellar. I'm intending to do a bit more digging around to see whether we might be able to secure a few more of his concert performances to offer on the air. Stay tuned, as they say.
And if you have more to add about Nelsons or other potential BSO conductors, just pop your thoughts into a comment below.

Every once in a while a concert experience comes along that reminds me why we still have concerts in this age of iPods, downloads, streaming, and (ahem) radio. On Saturday night my wife and I headed to the Back Bay to hear the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, referred to by some as Akamus, presented by Celebrity Series of Boston and Boston Early Music Festival.
Jordan Hall (left) is a place I know really well, having heard and played a huge number of concerts there. The ensemble is one I know almost as well, at least as it's appeared on many stellar recordings. (Check out the latest – Bach's Art of Fugue – on The Bach Hour.) Even the program was on the highly familiar side: a Telemann Ouverture (Suite), Bach's Brandenburg 5, one of Handel's Opus 6 Concerti Grossi. (The conventionality of the rep almost scuttled my desire to go; good thing it didn't. Read on.)
But something was out of synch as the concert began. Given the familiarity of the overall terrain, there was no choice: it had to be … me. I couldn't engage.
At first I thought it was just because the concert began with Telemann, whose music I sometimes struggle to plug into. But no, Telemann doesn't deserve that rap. It really was me.
As it turned out, I simply had to recalibrate. I had recently heard the BSO do Mahler 9. And as part of my job I listen to recordings all the time, especially recordings of big orchestral pieces. And even the recordings of baroque music tend to be highly produced audio-rich recordings that reward a pretty high volume setting.
But when Akamus launched into that Telemann Suite, the sound was so soft and transparent in comparison to my normal listening material that it felt like I might damage it if I so much as breathed too deeply.
Luckily, ears adjust quickly. Within a few minutes (well, maybe a few movements), my hearing had recalibrated itself, listening in a different way. I was picking up uncommonly subtle and remarkable phrasing approaches and a stunningly unified rhythmic feel from the ensemble. Ah, I thought, now it's clear why this band is regarded as one of the best in the world.
By the end of the Telemann, as we waited for the stage change for Brandenburg 5, I turned to my wife and said, "There are some circles of people where, if you mentioned to them that you heard Raphael Alpermann play Brandenburg 5, there would be gasps of disbelief and envy." At the end of Brandenburg 5, she was the one gasping with disbelief. Alpermann, the group's harpsichordist, gave a performance of such detail, control, and passion that I'm still not quite sure how he and the ensemble pulled it off.
And the rest of the concert followed suit. By the end, a concert of over two hours had flown by, and we felt like we could have stayed and listened all night.
This is why, no matter how many other options there are for listening to music, you must go to concerts. The parking, the expense, the annoying ripple of lozenge wrappers – it's all small change compared to the experience of being in the presence of great musicians bringing you an artistic experience that can't be matched anywhere.
I hope you'll take us up on the concerts we mention on the air at 99.5. There's usually a link on our web site to more information about these events.
Don't stop listening to the radio. But use the radio to launch yourself into concert hall experiences.
If you've got a concert hall memory you'd like to share, just drop it in a comment below. I'll look forward to hearing about it.

yes i do, although I never get laid
Yup. I also believe in God. Why is it so hard to comprehend that maybe, just maybe, that is the way God planned it?
No! I believe in creation as stated in the book of Genesis.
no i dont beleve in gravity either i know it is realy god.
I believe things might have happened that way. There are some indicators, it seems. But I also accept that no one knows for sure. Can you really believe in something that you can't be absolutely sure of? So I accept the theory as theory, while realizing there are many other possibilities.<br />
If man's knowledge is anything, then it is finite. Unlike the universe. It is also and often quite fallible.
With all the evidence of the universe, it is very old and ancient. The big bang theory most closely resembles how the universe behaves in the present day. The big bang theory doesn't state what happened before the big crunch. Since the universe goes through waves and cycles, the universe must be older than what we could fathom.
No, I believe in the Instanton theory.
