Radiography Program

Why Choose Radiography?

The Radiography program at Ferris is one of the largest and best-known programs in the country. The program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. Ferris graduates are highly sought after employees in hospitals, doctors' offices, forensic medicine and other health care organizations

Radiographers produce x-ray films (radiographs) of parts of the human body to assist a physician in the diagnosis of disease and trauma. Experienced radiographers may perform more complex imaging tests, such as CT, MRI, mammography, angiography and surgical procedures.

Career Opportunities

Job prospects are best for persons trained in multiple disciplines such as radiography and CT, MRI, or ultrasound. More than half of jobs for technologists are in hospitals; the rest being in physicians' offices and clinics, including diagnostic imaging centers.
