Top X-Ray Technician Schools in South Carolina

Xray technicians use computerized equipment to produce diagnostic, medical imagery. They keep detailed records, maintain and adjust the equipment and position patients to get the clearest image possible. They often find themselves answering questions and calming fearful or injured individuals, so people with good communication skills may find this an ideal vocation.

Finding X-Ray Technician Schools in Carolina

If you have always wanted to work as an xray technologist, you may find information about radiological technician programs through your high school counselor or vocational advisor. If you decide to pursue this career after graduating from high school or as a second career you can locate your state's xray tech colleges and programs in the phone book, online, or from others working in the same field.

X-Ray Technician Education in South Carolina

While most radiological technicians enter the field after completing a certificate program or an Associate degree, some go on to earn Bachelors degrees. Most states require technicians complete an accredited program, then apply for state and/or national certification.

How To Get Certified in South Carolina

The South Carolina Radiation Quality Standards Association provides certification for all individuals trained to use ionizing radiation as an aspect of patient care. You can obtain a limit radiographer's license by successfully completing a two year training program and submitting an application with a $50.00 payment along with a letter from your training program's director confirming your having passed all competency levels.

You cannot work unless you are certified or have renewed your certificate. All xray technicians must complete continuing education credits (CE) and submit a new application every 2 years.

Salaries for X-Ray Technicians in South Carolina

The demand for magnetic resonance imaging and xray technicians was projected to rise 21 percent between 2012 and 2022. In 2012 the average wage for U.S. radiological technicians was $54,620, with the lowest paid technologists earning $37, 060 and the highest paid technicians earning over $77,160. South Carolina's technicians' wages average $56,000.

Technicians once worked in hospitals, but as access to health insurance expands and outpatient care increases, more xray technicians will work in doctors' offices and free standing, ambulatory care facilities.
