Radiologic Technology: A.A.S.
As a Radiologic Technologist, you’ll be on the cutting edge of scientific progress, working with the latest advances in medical care. You’ll also be a member of a growing profession, as the number of medical imaging examinations performed in the United States increases every year. Opportunities to advance within the field are expanding as well. Whether you consider yourself technically adept or not, you will be comfortable studying radiologic technology. That’s because the field is part science, and part art.
Part of your coursework at SUNY Broome will include subjects such as anatomy, biology, mathematical literacy II, radiation safety, image analysis, equipment, and physics. You'll learn to use computers to acquire and manipulate images, and you'll work with some of the most technologically advanced equipment in the medical field. You will also learn to communicate with patients, solve problems, and work with other members of the healthcare team, including doctors, nurses, and experienced radiologic technologists.
During this part of your education in the clinical setting, you'll have a hands-on opportunity to practice your patient care skills and fine-tune your technical knowledge. You will develop skills that allow you to provide patient care that is accurate as well as compassionate.
A career in radiologic technology can lead in many directions. Radiologic technologists are needed in every healthcare setting. The boundaries of your career in radiologic technology are determined only by your own abilities and interests.
The program focuses on the same values of the college: the commitment is to student learning, excellence in fulfilling our mission, equity in respecting both individual rights and social obligations, diversity, accountability, and innovation.
This program prepares you to be a Radiologic Technologist, generally in a health care setting. As a technologist, you will produce images used in the diagnosis of disease and injury, operating x-ray equipment and providing patient care as you do so. A Radiologic Technologist may continue education in areas such as sonography, nuclear medicine, cardiovascular-interventional techniques, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), fusion technology (PETCT), PACS Administrator, mammography, bone densitometry, research, education, registered radiologist assistant, and radiation therapy.
SUNY Broome's Radiologic Technology Program consists of two years of combined academic and clinical education, the equivalent of 21 calendar months. Your clinical education will take place in cooperating area hospitals. All clinical sites are within 1 hour driving distance from campus. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from clinic, classes, and labs. The program consists of a clinic and one fully online course during the first summer term of the program.
Upon completion of the academic and clinical competencies required for the accredited program, you must have earned an associate’s degree or higher, meet ARRT’s Ethics requirement, then pass the registry exam before earning ARRT credentials for certification and New York State licensure. All graduates must pass the ARRT examination to attain New York State Licensure in order to work in New York State.
In order to participate in clinical rotations, which are required to graduate from this program, students are required to submit proof of a current physical and up-to-date required vaccinations, including influenza. Specific instructions about required documentation and deadlines are provided by the Program Director.
Clinical Mammography Policy
The radiography program sponsored by SUNY Broome Community College has revised its 2016 policy, effective March 15, 2022, regarding the placement of students in clinical mammography rotations to observe and/or perform breast imaging.
Under the revised policy, students may request the opportunity to participate in clinical mammography rotations. The program will make every effort to place students in a clinical mammography rotation if requested; however, the program is not in a position to override clinical setting policies that restrict clinical experiences in mammography to students. Students are advised that placement in a mammography rotation is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of a clinical setting.
The change in the program’s policy regarding student clinical rotations in mammography is based on the sound rationale presented in a position statement on student clinical mammography rotations adopted by the Board of Directors of the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) at its April 2016 and October 2021 meetings. The JRCERT position statement is included in the program’s clinical education policy manual and is also available on the JRCERT Web site, www.jrcert.org, Programs & Faculty, Program Resources.
The program is designed for both students planning to enter the workforce immediately, and for those looking to enhance skills and transfer to a four-year college to pursue a bachelor's degree. A radiologic technologist may continue their education in areas such as sonography, nuclear medicine, cardiovascular-interventional procedures, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), position emission tomography (PET), Fusion Imaging (PET/CT), Department Administration, PACS Administrator, quality management, bone densitometry, Research, education, Registered Radiologist Assistant, Physician Assistant, and radiation therapy.

Allegations and Grievance Procedures
Any individual associated with the program has the right to submit allegations against a JRCERT-accredited program if there is reason to believe that the program has acted contrary to JRCERT accreditation standards and/or policies.
Contacting JRCERT should not be a step in the formal college or program grievance policy/procedure. The individual must first attempt to resolve the complaint directly with college or program officials. If the concerns have not been properly addressed, the individual may submit allegations of noncompliance directly to JRCERT.
Licensure and Certification Requirements
- Radiographers must be licensed in New York State through the New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection.
- Radiographers must also be ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) Certified.
NC-SARA Compliance
Effective July 1, 2024, federal regulation requires institutions of higher education to determine whether a Title IV eligible academic program that leads to professional licensure or certification meets educational requirements for licensure/certification in the U.S. State where the institution is located, as well as in U.S. States where distance education students reside, where the program is advertised, and where students intend to be licensed/certified.
The Radiologic Technology A.A.S. program at SUNY Broome Community College is registered by the New York State Education Department and meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in New York State.
Through good faith efforts to comply with federal regulations, SUNY Broome has determined that the program also meets educational requirements for licensure/certification in the following U.S. State: Pennsylvania.
It is important to note that SUNY Broome Community College is not the licensure/certification authority in these states and cannot assess whether an individual candidate will be issued a license or certificate. Each candidate must contact the licensure/certification authority in the applicable state for guidance on requirements and application processes.
