Radiographers are qualified and regulated health professionals. There are two types of radiographer: diagnostic and therapeutic.
Both are key Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) in the NHS.
Diagnostic radiographers are allied health professionals who take x-rays and other medical images to assist doctors in diagnosing diseases and injuries. A radiographer does your x-ray or scan.
They can specialise in certain areas of imaging, including ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, DEXA scanning and vascular interventional radiography.
Therapeutic radiographers are responsible for the planning, administration and aftercare of radiotherapy treatment for patients – most of whom have cancer.
Therapeutic radiographers, use a range of highly-specialised equipment to deliver accurate doses of radiation to tumours to destroy diseased tissue, whilst minimising the amount of radiation to surrounding healthy tissue.
They also use radiotherapy to treat other conditions such as some blood disorders and thyroid disease.
