Soon after the discovery of X-rays by Roentgen in 1895, X-rays were first used in India by a army surgeon, Major Bewoor. At present there are 10000 Radiological Technologists in India for a population of 860 millions out of which only 4000 are trained and 6000 are "self made technicians. Even this number is insufficient to handle 50, 000 X-ray and 200 teletherapy machines. In the next 5 years India expects to install 8, 000 X-ray machines and 500 teletherapy machines in order to operate these diagnostic and therapy tools we need at least 5, 000 more trained Technologists. The present status of Radiological Technologists training is not sufficient to meet the requirement of the country. There are 36 training schools which impart training in Radiography to Radiographers/Technicians, the training pattern is not uniform with majority of the training centers provide 6 months to 1 year training. There are only 4 training institutes where Radiography is taught for 36 months after 12 years of schooling. With the introduction of high degree sophisticated. Imaging and Radiotheraphy equipment and public awareness about radiation hazards time has come that India should think for a comprehensive training plan to meet the requirement of a Technologist capable of working in ie.
