Proud of the work we do
Our first spotlight kicks off with the Diagnostic Radiology (X-Ray) team!
Did you know that Diagnostic Radiology (X-Ray) is often the first step in a patient’s care journey? There’s a lot that can be diagnosed from an X-Ray. At UF Health, our dedicated Radiologic Technologists are on the frontlines in Out-patient, In-patient, ER, Trauma, and even surgical settings, performing over 600 exams daily!
X-rays are used for more than simply diagnosing broken bones—they help detect several other conditions like collapsed lungs, pneumonia, bowel obstructions, arthritis, and tumors, and can help verify line and tube placements. In Trauma and ED, these instant digital images give physicians critical info, helping save lives in real-time. And during surgeries, C-arms guide surgeons with precision.
Radiologic Technologists are essential, providing images that lead to life-saving diagnoses and treatment. Meet some of the X-Ray team and learn more about their journey to working in the Radio Tech field.
