The Role Radiographers in engglan

Diagnostic Radiographers generally use x-rays, alongside other imaging modalities, to

see inside a patient’s body and help diagnose what is wrong with them.

In the Radiology Theatres the Radiographer is an essential part of the team. A large X-
Ray camera (C-arm) is used in all the procedures, which allows the Doctor (Radiologist) to see
the area of the body they are diagnosing or treating in real time. The Radiographer ensures that
the radiation used is safely monitored and moves the equipment while the Radiologist is
scrubbed in sterile gloves and gown.

The Radiographer will also ensure that important information is recorded after the
operation, including all the images they have saved throughout.

The Radiographer will know where all the equipment the Radiologist might need is and
how to open them so they stay clean. Often the Radiographer is the only member of the team that
is not scrubbed in sterile gloves and gowns so monitoring the patient, getting equipment and
documenting important information also becomes part of their responsibility.

Considering Diagnostic Radiography as a career? It is a 3 year undergraduate course

which involves a large amount of placement in a clinical environment. This involves learning
how to do plain film X-Rays, such as in A&E. It also includes periods of time in CT, MRI,
Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound and Radiology Theatres. (https://www-leedsth-nhs-
