What is a Travel Radiographer?

A travel radiographer is a qualified radiography professional who takes on roles in various locations, usually facilitated through healthcare staffing agencies. Radiographers typically specialise in either diagnostic or therapeutic radiography, performing imaging procedures such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, ultrasounds, mammography, fluoroscopy, or interventional radiography.
