Radiologic technologists produce the X-ray images behind nearly every diagnosis — from emergency rooms to orthopedic clinics. Imagine America Foundation offers scholarships to help students pay for radiologic technology training at participating career colleges, including state-approved programs with ARRT certification pathways.
Why Become a Radiologic Technologist?
Medical imaging sits at the heart of modern medicine, and radiologic technologists are its front line. The career combines patient interaction with technical skill, offers specialization paths into CT, MRI, and mammography, and consistently ranks among the better-paying allied health professions — especially in states like California.

Which partner schools offer radiologic technology?
Carrington College offers Radiologic Technology at its Temecula and Fresno, CA campuses — approved by the California Department of Public Health Radiologic Health Branch, with ARRT-verified pathways.
What does a radiologic technologist do?
Rad techs position patients, operate X-ray equipment, and produce diagnostic images while managing radiation safety. They work in hospitals, emergency departments, orthopedic and urgent care practices, and outpatient imaging centers.
What certification do rad techs need?
Most states require licensure, and the ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) credential is the national standard. Partner programs provide state-approved training with an ARRT pathway.
Can I specialize later?
Yes. Experienced radiologic technologists commonly advance into CT, MRI, mammography, or interventional imaging — specialties with strong demand and higher pay.
