title: Role of a University Medical Center in the education of radiologic technologists: advanced education in radiologic technology.
abstract: The development of new and sophisticated imaging equipment, the rapidly changing medical diagnostic techniques, and larger and busier radiology departments put increasingly heavy demands on radiologic technologists. To cope with these demands, superficial knowledge and experience is not enough. The technologist who wished to advance on the career ladder must have more solid facts at his disposal and know how and when to use them if he is to perform efficiently and satisfactorily. The program described here provides a type of education that will permit the technologist to so advance with a feeling of security in the knowledge that he has the foundation needed to meet the challenges of his profession.
