Manipulator in medical electroradiology

This paramedical profession is rather little known. In an anecdotic way, it is noted that it (it) manipulator (- trice) is very often confused with other medical personnel, nurse if it is a woman and very often radiologist if it is a man.

Let us note that it (it) manipulator (- trice) in medical electroradiology is the only ancillary medical professional authorized to use the ionizing rays. So he just like plays a big role in the protection against radiation of the patients the medical doctors radiologists and physicists (radiotherapy).

He (it) carries out the following examinations:

and it also applies medical care to therapeutic aiming: Radiotherapy thanks to various physical agents (X-rays, Proton S, electron S…).

This profession thus comprises a slope " soignant" (achievements of injections, administration of products (in particular of the drugs radiopharmaceutic in nuclear medicine), dealt with of the patients,…) associated with a slope " technicien" (control of the formation of the image, data processing, protection against radiation, development of protocols,…).

The formation is carried out in three years and leads to a OF (diploma of state) or a SDR (diploma for the occupation of high-level technicien) according to the selected site of formation.

From the fact that she is known little, this profession offers the certainty to obtain a stable job and remunerated well as of the exit of the training center. Indeed, technology evolves/moves very quickly and asks it examinations also increases (by the lengthening of the lifespan, inter alia); this made that the manipulators (- trices) are very required in France and in the other countries (at which the qualified personnel really do not exist since there does not exist formation diplômante everywhere in Europe).
