Like nurses, they prepare patients for radiologic procedures, usually making sure patients are calm and in the proper position for the x-rays to be taken. The job of an x-ray tech’s job is operating x-ray machines to capture pictures of patient’s bones, soft tissues, and organs. They then develop these pictures and pass them on to doctors and radiologists, making sure to alert fellow staff member to any urgent problems that may need immediate care.
