工作實況：影像、輻射安全同病人照顧
放射技師每日為唔同病人做檢查，由登記、核對身份、解釋程序，到擺位、曝露、處理影像同存檔，一氣呵成。佢哋要按檢查類型調整儀器參數，確保影像質素，又要顧及病人嘅舒適同安全。影像部門通常分診斷同治療兩邊：診斷側重拍攝同分析影像，治療側重定位同配合放射治療。無論邊邊，輻射防護同記錄都係日常工作嘅一部分，亦要同醫生、護士同其他專職醫療人員合作。
入行關卡：第359章註冊制度
放射技師係受法定註冊規管嘅專業。《輔助醫療業條例》（第359章）規管多個輔助醫療專業，放射技師須向輔助醫療業管理局註冊。條例第12(1)(a)條列出嘅註冊資格，包括香港理工大學（或其前身香港理工學院）頒授嘅放射學理科學士學位，以及規例訂明嘅其他較早期資歷；另外，通過管理委員會按條例第15A條舉辦嘅考試亦符合資格。冇註冊就唔可以執業，係一條清晰嘅法定界線。
非本地學歷同專業分類
持有非本地學歷嘅人士，可按條例第12(1)(b)條嘅評審準則申請註冊，準則自2023年2月1日起生效。申請人須在資格頒授地持有現行註冊，學歷一般須達理學士（榮譽）或以上程度，並符合指定地區（例如澳洲、加拿大、英國、瑞士等）嘅認可要求。放射技師亦分診斷同治療兩個類別，註冊同執業範圍都對應所屬類別，申請人要按自己嘅資歷同經驗對號入座。

The job: imaging, radiation safety and patient care
Radiographers examine different patients each day, from registration and identity checks, explaining the procedure, to positioning, exposure, image processing and archiving in one flow. They adjust machine settings to the type of examination to ensure image quality while looking after the patient's comfort and safety. Imaging departments usually split into diagnostic and therapeutic sides: diagnosis focuses on producing and interpreting images, while therapy focuses on positioning and supporting radiotherapy. In both, radiation protection and record-keeping are part of daily work, and radiographers cooperate with doctors, nurses and other allied health staff.
The gate: the registration regime under Cap. 359
Radiography is a profession under statutory registration. The Allied Health Professions Ordinance (Cap. 359) regulates several allied health professions, and radiographers must register with the Allied Health Professions Council. The qualifications listed in section 12(1)(a) include a Bachelor of Science degree in radiography awarded by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (or its predecessor, The Hong Kong Polytechnic) and other earlier qualifications prescribed by the regulation; passing an examination held by the Board under section 15A also qualifies. Without registration a person cannot practise: that is a clear statutory line.
Non-local qualifications and professional categories
People holding non-local qualifications may apply for registration under the assessment criteria of section 12(1)(b), which took effect on 1 February 2023. An applicant must hold a current registration in the jurisdiction where the qualification was conferred; the qualification should generally be at honours degree level or above; and it must meet the recognition requirements of specified places such as Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Radiographers are also divided into diagnostic and therapeutic categories, with registration and scope of practice tied to the relevant category, so applicants match their qualifications and experience to the right one.
