One year of specialized experience in the operation of diagnostic radiology equipment under the direction of radiologists or other medical officers to produce radiographic studies used in medical diagnosis and treatment which includes duties such as: performing radiographic examinations, setting up x-ray room, preparing or administering contrast material.
