  When I first entered the field twelve years ago, there was limited information available about radiography programs.  Fast-forward to 2012; this hasn’t changed much except for the large amount of misinformation presented on the internet as fact from writers with no professional background in the field of radiography.  I wrote this book as a response to that misinformation, as well as an answer to the many frequently asked questions I receive from prospective students of radiography. 
  
  
  Far from being a textbook, Becoming a Radiologic Technologist shares some of my most valuable lessons learned from personal experiences in the field.  Combined with detailed and practical information provided, this book will serve as a terrific guide as you pursue a career in the field of radiography!
