Radiological Tech is someone with formal education and certification who takes x- rays. Usually referred to as an x-ray tech There are people who take x-rays, usually in a doctor's office, who are not certified, but are allowed to work under his "supervision." A radiation therapist is someone with very specialized training in operating equipment that directs specific doses of radiation to cancer sites. Often a certified rad tech who has received more education and been certified as a therapist.
