General radiologic technologists produce x-ray films (radiographs) of the human body for use in diagnosing medical problems. They interact with patients by explaining procedures and various positioning techniques necessary to produce quality images of bony and soft tissue structures. Extensive knowledge of radiography equipment is necessary to produce quality radiographs.

Students in OCtech's General Radiologic Technology program receive a technological education consisting of classroom and clinical experience. Students get "hands on" experience by assisting the radiographer with various radiographic exams.

With additional education, graduates may complete the associate degree in Radiologic Technology.
