Riverland Radiography program hosts ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new X-ray machine as part of National Radiologic Technology week celebration
The Radiography program at Riverland Community College celebrates National Radiologic Technology Week by introducing a new X-ray machine at a ribbon cutting ceremony scheduled for Nov. 7. “The purchase of new X-ray equipment for the radiography program is instrumental to the success of our students” said Sandra Sellner-Wee, Riverland Radiography Program Director. “Students are able to take x-rays on a phantom and process the images in a digital processor. This allows our students to practice, critique and learn from errors in a safe environment before going into the clinical setting.”
