As we highlight Radiologic Technology Week, Nov. 3-9, we pay homage to Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s discovery of the x-ray on Nov. 8, 1895, and honor the essential work of radiologic technologists around the globe. Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Gabrielle Nacis, a radiologic technologist and computed tomography (CT) technician, takes an abdomen x-ray. Nacis is a native of Bethlehem, Georgia, and says, “We are the eyes of medicine. Our range of radiologic care includes active duty servicemembers and their dependents, war veterans and military working dogs. We get to x-ray before patients go into surgery; we are sometimes present during surgery; we x-ray after surgery; and continue to track their progress by x-raying months after surgery.” Nacis adds, “I love that we get to see the process of healing.” Share
