does a radiologist tech have to be good in math?

Question

i happen to be not very talented in algebra.. but physics is okay. should that matter?

Answer 1

Honestly, on the job, no you don't. You'll need some to get through school though.

Answer 2

Good question. My university offers a 4 year degree in a radiologist tech sort of thing and I know they have to take college level physics and stuff. So, you need to be good at math.

I would say yes. If you were giving me an x-ray and the settings were off and you didn't have an idea of the dose you were giving me, then I would get pretty upset.
