Stepping from the console to the command chair as an imaging manager is a planned progression that blends leadership, communication, and expanded technical depth. For sonographers, radiologic technologists, and ultrasound techs, this practical guide maps out how to move beyond the technologist role into supervision and management: from cross-training in additional modalities to earning credentials that signal readiness for responsibility, strengthening collaboration with physicians and medical teams, and staying aligned with quality and compliance standards.

Diverse, fascinating, and essential, the rapidly growing field of radiology offers exciting opportunities for ambitious professionals. Among the many available niches is a path that may seem familiar but is not well-understood outside of the healthcare sector: computed tomography.

This imaging technique is crucial for providing insight into internal anatomy. It plays a central role in diagnosing and understanding many conditions. Successful scans would not be possible, however, without the hard work of specialized radiologic technologists.
