From November 8-14, 2009, students in Johnson College’s Radiologic Technology program observed National Radiologic Technology Week® which celebrates the work of Radiologic Technicians in the health care field. Radiologic Technologists produce x-ray films (radiographs) of parts of the human body for use in diagnosing medical problems on a diversified patient population. The celebration takes place each November, commemorating the anniversary of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen’s discovery of the x-ray on November 8, 1895.
As part of the National Radiologic Technology Week® festivities, Johnson College’s Radiologic Technology students designed posters portraying the history of the field. The posters were set up in the College’s Moffat Building Cafeteria in order to educate the rest of the College’s population about the evolution and significance of Radiologic Technology.
