Who are our front-line heroes?
During these challenging times and in the midst of a global health crisis, who are our front-line heroes? 
You might be surprised to learn that radiologic technologists play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of the Coronavirus.
Chest X-rays and CT scans are critical diagnostic tools in identifying the pneumonialike complications of the Coronavirus. When patients are placed on ventilators for breathing assistance, radiologic technologists perform imaging procedures so appropriate placement can be verified.
Each of these imaging procedures is performed by a professional known as a radiologic technologist. Radiation therapists are also essential workers on the front-lines in the fight against cancer. Their work with oncology patients is crucial, and it continues every day, even during a pandemic.
So let’s give a big salute to the doctors, nurses, and other hardworking health-care professionals. But here’s a special tip of the hat to the more than 15,000 registered and certified radiologic technologists making a difference for patients every day in the state of Ohio. To us, they’re unsung heroes, and we offer our heartfelt thanks for everything they do!
Judith Miller,
President, Ohio Society of Radiologic Technologists
Within our mission to enhance the quality of patient care, the Ohio Society of Radiologic Technologists recognizes that excessive police violence, specifically toward the black and brown communities, is a critical contributor to preventable and costly injury, and premature morbidity and death. We support these communities and the victims of senseless violence while we work to increase equity and inclusion. As health care professionals, we prioritize the life and health of all humans, and will continue to deliver quality medical imaging and radiotherapeutic procedures for all patients.
