When choosing a gift for a radiology technician, consider something related to their profession.
Radiology technicians operate X-ray and other imaging machines. When deciding what king of gift to purchase for a radiology technician, you might want to consider following an X-ray theme.
Skeleton Shirts
Give a radiology tech a shirt with an X-ray image of the upper body.
Look for shirts and sweatshirts with a life-size X-ray view of a skeleton. These have images of the arm bones on the arms of the shirt and the rib cage in the middle of the chest. Science museum gift shops and Internet specialty clothing stores sell these shirts and sweatshirts.
X-Ray Markers
Radiologists use X-ray markers to indicate the side of the body shown in the image by placing a marker with an "R" or "L" on it, indicating the right or left side of the body. Look online for customized X-ray markers, which come in a variety of shapes and can include the radiology technician's initials. For a veterinarian radiology technician, look for markers in the shapes of a dog bone or paw print. Football helmet-shaped markers can be ideal gifts for those specializing in sports medicine.
Books
Look for a book featuring X-ray images of everyday items other than people. Every day radiology techs look at images of bones, but rarely do they get a chance to see the inner workings of other things from an X-ray's perspective. Shop at specialty bookstores in the medical or arts sections or look on the Internet.
Professional Publications
Rather than giving a present one day out of the year, offer the radiology tech in your life a subscription to a professional publication that he will receive several times over the year. Look for radiology publications including Radiology Today and Radiographics, both of which can be subscribed to through their respective websites.
