Carlsbad Medical Center Celebrates National Radiologic Technology Week

11/7/2024

Providing patients with safe medical imaging examinations and radiation therapy treatments is the prime goal for the nation’s radiologic technologists. To recognize the vital work of its R.T.s, Carlsbad Medical Center is celebrating National Radiologic Technology Week®, November 3-9.

NRTW was created by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists in 1979. The event is celebrated each year during the week of Nov. 8, the day that German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered the x-ray in 1895.

Medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals work with some of the most innovative equipment in the medical field to help identify pathologies, plan and administer treatment and restore patient health. R.T.s specialize in breast imaging, computed tomography, cardiac-interventional procedures, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, radiation therapy and general diagnostic radiology.

Carlsbad Medical Center thanks all radiologic technologists, especially the team at CMC, for the vital role they play in patient care. For more information on radiologic technology at CMC, visit www.carlsbadmedicalcenter.com/diagnostic-imaging.
