Several South Carolina schools offer radiologic technology programs.
Radiologic technologists work with medical equipment on patients to produce medical diagnostic images for the use of the physician. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that an associate’s degree in radiologic technology is the most prevalent level of education among professionals in this field. South Carolina has a number of institutions that offer educational opportunities in radiologic technology.
