X-ray technician
Medical imaging professional
An X-ray technician is a healthcare professional who operates radiographic equipment to produce images of the body's internal structures.
They position patients, ensure proper exposure settings, and work under the supervision of radiologists.
The formal title is radiologic technologist, but X-ray technician remains common in everyday speech: The X-ray technician asked me to hold still.
