The big idea
Radiology techs run the imaging machines. AI reads the scans, but a human still has to talk to the patient, position the body, and make the image usable.
Some examples
- A two-year associate's degree gets you certified and hired.
- Average pay around $70K, with hospital and clinic options.
- AI now flags strokes and fractures for the radiologist.
- Patient handling and radiation safety are 100% human jobs.
