York Technical College to Recognize National Radiologic Technology Week

October 31, 2008

ROCK HILLThe Radiologic Technology students at York Technical College will celebrate National Radiologic Technology Week® (NRTW) on November 2-8 and recognize the contributions of imaging professionals across the nation.

NRTW is celebrated annually to recognize the vital work of radiologic technologists. The celebration takes place each November to commemorate the anniversary of the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on November 8, 1895.

The week-long celebration calls attention to the valuable work of radiologic technologists in the health care field and the highly technical images that they make. The images play an integral role in the medical process and in the lives of millions of patients. Each image tells a story.

The Radiologic Technology program at York Technical College is a two-year associate degree program in medical imaging technology. With more than 1500 clinical hours completed upon graduation, the students of the program garner much of their knowledge and technical skill development by the generous efforts of area technologists who share their expertise and training in the imaging field.
