Learn with Minot State
The Bachelor of Science with a major in Radiologic Technology at Minot State University offers two tracks of study: radiologic technology (x-ray imaging) and diagnostic sonography (ultrasound).

What is radiologic technology?
Radiologic technology involves using radiologic imaging such as x-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Some of these are related career areas requiring additional training beyond a bachelor’s degree.

What do radiology technologists and do?
When you choose a career as a radiology technologist, you will work with radiologists to diagnose and treat patients using radiologic imaging. You will explain procedures to patients, prepare and position patients for tests, and perform those tests while following radiologic safety procedures. You will also carefully monitor patients, develop film, and maintain and operate specialized equipment.

When you choose a career in diagnostic sonography, you will assist doctors in making accurate diagnoses by using imaging equipment and soundwaves to form images of many parts of the body. Your training will enable you to acquire and analyze sonographic images as you work closely with patients.

Career outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, radiologic and MRI technologists earn a median pay of $67,180 per year.
