Medical Xray Tech Schools

In order to receive a license in the field, most states require medical x-ray technicians to complete some type of post-secondary education program in radiography. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) accredits such programs. Within the United States, there are hundreds of programs approved by the AART, including a select few that grant bachelor's degrees.
