Radiography is a branch of medicine that involves imaging techniques such as X-rays, gamma rays and ionizing radiation to scan the internal organs of the body and diagnose medical conditions. Radiographers are health care professionals specializing in the operation of scanning machines that are used to produce images for medical purposes.
 
A certified radiographer can work with medical equipment such as X-ray, ultra-sound scanners, MRI machines and even CT scanners to provide scans for patients undergoing such procedures.
