radiographers
They capture internal images
Radiographers are healthcare professionals who operate imaging equipment to produce diagnostic images of the body.
They take X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and other medical images, positioning patients and ensuring image quality while minimizing radiation exposure.
The radiographer asked me to hold my breath while the X-ray was taken.
