Answer:

The Health Science career pathway that Tobias works in is Hospital Imaging Center as a radiographer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the duty of Tobias was to take an x-ray of the boy's leg so that the doctor can see whether there is a break in the bone, that makes him more of a radiographer than a radiologist, though both can take x-rays, however, Radiologists interpret scans and send results to doctors to aid in making a diagnosis. So, from the question, Tobias didn't interpret the result he only took a scan that is what radiographers do. Radiographers are healthcare professionals that use diagnostic procedures, such as imaging scans, x-rays and, other medical images to conduct tests but they do not interpret results or make a diagnosis. Radiographers work in the hospital with their activities mostly to aid Doctors in the diagnosis of patients.

There are many radiography career pathways such as Forensic Lab, Out-Patient Radiology Center, Hospital Imaging Center, and so many other ones.
