In the fall of 2004, Montana Tech College of Technology began meeting the needs of Butte and the State of Montana by offering an Associate of Applied Science of Radiologic Technology. To meet these needs, the Health Programs Department is providing students with advanced education to meet the demands of the ever-changing radiologic field. The educational requirements are derived from the standards of several national organizations, including the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) to provide an education that will maintain continuity among radiologic professionals. Radiologic Technologists use x-ray equipment to produce images of tissue, organs, bones, and vessels of the body. These medical professionals perform diagnostic imaging examinations. Work settings vary from large hospitals, to suburban outpatient clinics, to rural physician offices.
