    Actually, jorgito11ene, Radiologic Technologist is the correct term.

    To tell you EXACTLY what the job consists of would probably take me forever, but basically, besides taking regular x-rays (chest, bones, skull, etc.), we also do live x-ray in operating room cases, portable x-rays in ICU and ER, gastrointestinal exams (upper GI, esophagram, barium enema), hysterosalpingograms (for infertility), IVPs (looks at kidneys, ureters, and bladder), we can do cases in the morgue to find cause of death, and the list goes on and on and on.......

    The correct term is Radiology Technologists.

    The are responsible and operate the X-ray machines around hospitals and clinics worldwide. It's a specialized career that can take as many as 4 years, but can also be longer if approaching also other areas of Radiology.
