Radiologic technologists or radiographers perform diagnostic imaging exams that combine the art and science of using radiation (x-rays) to produce anatomical images. OCC graduates are heavily recruited for positions in metro Detroit, says Nacy. "Some facilities even offer sign-on bonuses." As in the Diagnostic Sonography program, Radiologic Technology students must complete foundational courses in physics and the biological sciences, as well as the general education courses needed for an associate’s degree. Then the intensive, full-time course of study begins, including lectures, demonstrations, laboratory courses and clinical rotations at local hospitals. Many first year and second year OCC students complete one of their rotations at Botsford Hospital. Marcie Bass, the hospital’s lead technologist in Radiology, serves as OCC’s on-site clinical instructor and finds the students well prepared and very motivated, even when they arrive during their first year when many of them "have never been in the hospital environment or dealt one on one with a patient."

Once students complete the program, they are eligible to apply for the national certification exam of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists – an exam on which OCC students score very well. Laura Fordell, an August 2002 OCC grad and current x-ray technologist at Botsford Hospital, attributes that to the quality of OCC’s program: "When I took the boards, I felt really well prepared. All of the classes, activities and internships were wonderful, and the teachers were great. All of the  students studied together also. The program was a lot of hard work, but most definitely worth it."
