diagnostic radiographer

Diagnostic radiographers plan, prepare and perform diagnostic imaging examinations and post processing, with a wide range of equipment and techniques using X-rays, strong magnetic fields or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and high frequency sound (Ultrasound).

The most in-demand skills for this role include hygiene in a health care setting, pharmaceutical products, health care legislation, medical terminology, health care occupation-specific ethics, radiation physics in healthcare. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives diagnostic radiographer a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
