Becoming a certified Radiology Technician involves completing specific education and training programs.

- A Radiology Technician, also known as a Radiologic Technologist or X-ray Technician, is responsible for performing diagnostic imaging examinations such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs.

- You need to have a strong foundation in anatomy, patient care, radiation safety, and imaging techniques.

- Ensure you have completed high school (10+2) with a focus on science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics.

Enroll in a Radiology Technician Program:

- Certificate or Diploma Program: This is typically a 1-2 year course focused on the basics of radiologic technology, patient care, and imaging techniques.

- Associate Degree: A more comprehensive option, usually 2-3 years in duration, covering advanced imaging techniques and broader healthcare education.

Complete Clinical Training:

- During your program, you’ll undergo clinical training (internships or externships) in hospitals or diagnostic centers, where you'll gain hands-on experience in operating imaging equipment, patient handling, and image analysis.

- After completing the educational program, you need to obtain certification.

- In India, certification is often provided by the State Medical Faculty or relevant health councils.
