Abstract

This article examines the professional status of radiographers in an attempt to answer the question "Radiographers: responsible medical professional or detached employee?" Comparisons are made on the past and present views of radiography with thoughts given into the possible change for the future. It can be clearly seen that the professional rights have been taken away as a result of overwhelming medical dominance but changes are slowly taking to place which are attempting to replace the lost autonomy to place radiography as a profession once again.

"방사선사: 전문 의료직인가? 단순기술직인가?" 라는 명제로 방사선사의 전문성을 고찰하였다. 전 세계적으로 방사선사의 전문성은 의료인에 비해 자치권과 자율권이 많이 축소되어있다. 이 논문은 방사선의 역사와 영국과 호주에서 진행되고 있는 방사선사의 직업전문성 연구를 토대로 현재 방사선사의 사회적 위치를 재조명하고 방사선사의 사회적 지휘 향상을 위한 기반을 모색하고자 하였다.
