The Heritage X-Ray Medical Technician® - Medical Assistant program offers training in limited-scope x-ray, in addition to a traditional medical assistant curriculum. Limited-scope x-ray operators are not radiologists, radiographers, radiography technicians, rad techs, or radiology technicians, but they can do many of the routine x-ray tasks that are common in most medical offices.
