Value and contributions of medical imaging professionals.

The National Radiologic Technology Week© was created to highlight the value and contributions of medical imaging professionals. Each year, radiologic technologists celebrate the day Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered the X-ray, Nov. 8, 1895. This year’s week-long celebration calls attention to the vital work technologists perform in the health care field on a daily basis, and the highly technical images they produce. During the course of the week, Spangdahlem R.T.’s are
