Only ARRT-certiified radiologists may take x-rays.
Eighteen colleges, universities and hospitals in Indiana offer radiologic technology programs, according to the Indiana Society of Radiologic Technologists. While tuition fees vary, enrollment is often limited, and preference is given to those with strong backgrounds in math and science. Graduates of such radiography programs must also pass examinations given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) before they can operate any x-ray equipment.
