In general what are my odds of getting into an associates or bachelors rad tech program?

First and foremost I know it mostly depends on the school I apply to, but I would like to get a general idea of how possible getting into a Fall 2021 associates or bachelors program would be for me. I decided to get into radiology because helping others is very fulfilling to me, I want to specialize and gain expertise in in a patient care field, and I feel like my previous experience with cartography and imagery analysis could translate to radiology. I’m a second degree seeking student, having originally obtained a Bachelors of Science in Geographic Information Systems 6 years ago. Most of my professional time has actually been spent in healthcare IT, where I was an EMR trainer and analyst. I’d also provide on the floor elbow support for EMR issues. I don’t have any direct patient care experience yet. However I do have my BLS and an EKG certification, so I’m sure I can find some sort of part time patient care related job. I would say I’m a B-average student. I have around 24 hou

MS4 applying neuro but feel I'm making a mistake by not going Rads. Any input appreciate

When I reflect on my decision i just really feel like I made a mistake because radiology just seems like a much better fit due to my more introverted nature and not thriving off of patient care. I was deciding between the two and what made me go neuro was a conversation i had with an attending basically saying I need to follow my passion but the problem is i don't really have a passion in medicine and I feel like that word is overused and I just hate that word now. This attending implied i shouldn't go into radiology for whatever reason because he didn't see it in me i guess which really pisses me off because he never even gave me a chance to participate in research or show myself he always gave opportunities to another student in my class who was the same race as him and was highly motivated to go into rads from MS1. I don't get how someone would know from MS1 they want rads but fake it till you make it i guess. He also was saying I seem to like patient contact too mu

HCPC registration certificate for NZ

Hi, I'm a therapeutic radiographer in the UK trying to register with the NZ MRTB to hopefully move there and practice. One of their document requirements is a registration certificate from the HCPC, which I don't have and have never been sent. I've emailed the HCPC and they sent me a letter of good standing but nowt else. Anyone been through this registration before? I'm not sure what I have to upload. If anyone has been through the Overseas MRTB registration before, who did you get to certify your documents?

What is your salary like as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer/Ultrasound Tech (I know this will vary by location/experience)?

I’m being pressured to pursue nursing instead of sonography because it pays more/offers more advancement BUT from my research sonographers make more than nurses (in Arizona) and I have no desire to be a NP, PA, MD, or DO. At most I’d like to get into management in the future but I’m only 20 years old and have no experience so that won’t happen for awhile. I am on a waitlist for the only accredited sonography program in Arizona so by the time I get in it’ll be 2023, 2024 or 2025 even. In which I assume sonography salaries will go up by then. I really like sonography and my dream job is to be a pediatric sonographer in a children’s hospital. submitted by /u/echythompson [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jl2u0n/what_is_your_salary_like_as_a_diagnostic_medical/

How do I become a radiologist tech?

Hi everyone, I need honest good solid career advice. I went to medical school, got into residency, I finished my intern year of residency successfully, but was forced to leave the program. I am reapplying for residency this year. Getting into residency is hard . ..I'm looking for a good backup plan. I was always interested in radiology and have looked into tech programs. I find it very confusing. Is a tech program an associates degree? Would they accept doctors into their program? Is there like an accelerated track that I can apply to? Since I already have taken a lot of the pre-requisite I've already completed by Bachelors . ..would they accept that? How long are the programs? Due to this COVID, I prefer a hybrid program or online mostly .. .are the tech programs doing that these days? submitted by /u/vampy524 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jkeo47/how_do_i_become_a_radiologist_tech/

Interview scenarios

Hello everyone. I'm a recent diagnostic radiography graduate from the UK. At the moment I'm preparing for interviews with a couple of NHS Trusts. To prepare for the interview, my university has given me a list of example interview scenarios. I've wrote a page of notes for each. I was just wanting to see what people in this subreddit had to say about these scenarios as in both as there are a lot of things to consider for both and I want to make sure I've covered all bases and not missed any important points. Scenarios are as follows: "a 25 year old lady presents with a card from her general practitioner for imaging out of hours. Clinical details - the lady has right upper quadrant flank pain. It has been intermittent over the past 3 - 4 months and associated with occasional vomiting following a meal. Explain your actions."

Question about exposure during very early pregnancy—struggling to find informed answers elsewhere on the internet.

So I’m a third-year med student and accidentally pregnant. By counting backwards I’m certain that during the post-fertilization/pre-implantation window of time I was in the room for several interventional IR and ortho surgeries. Specifically a cardiac cath, a pancreaticobiliary drain replacement, one vertebroplasty, and one total hip. I wore full lead for each procedure, and was usually a good 5 feet from the tube. My question is, should I be worried about major malformations or significantly increased cancer risk in my unborn kid? I’m familiar with the “all or nothing phenomenon” in early embryogenesis but I guess I’m having trouble even quantifying my potential radiation exposure in these various procedures while wearing lead. Sorry for the neuroticism. Just feeling that parental guilt hard right now. submitted by /u/disco_rice [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jka780/question_about_exposure_during_very_early/

Georgia radiologic technician certification

Hello everyone! I am extremely interested in becoming a radiologic technician but I am a little confused so I’m hoping I can get some clarification. I read that in the state of Georgia you do not have to be certified to be a technician but I figured no one is going to hire you without experience or certification, I also read that a lot of people get their certifications from ARRT (the American registry of radiologic technologists) on their website it says that you have to finish an associates degree before you can get certified, my question is, would there be any way that I can get the certs without having to go through a 2-4 year degree? And if so which programs are you able to do that with? Specifically In Georgia or online, also why do these schools require you to have an associates degree when Georgia states that you don’t need it? Thank you so much!! submitted by /u/srios22 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jj9cle/georgia_radiologic_

Question about quality assurance

Hello, I'm a recent diagnostic radiography graduate from the UK. I've just had an interview that I think went fairly well. One area I was asked to talk about in the interview, however, I think I was less well informed about than others. I was asked to outline some quality assurance tests I know of. In my training, we were shown some digital radiography quality assurance tests briefly at the start of our clinical placement and I recalled these. I think I should probably brush up on my knowledge of them, however. I was just wondering if anyone has any good resources (preferably UK-based) on the full range of quality assurance tests usually/regularly employed in digital radiography? I know regular quality assurance tests are mandatory under IR(ME)R 2017 legislation. If I remember rightly from classes, in the UK, suggestions made by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) are used to inform what tests should be performed. If anyone has any information on this

New radiology technologist student - feeling nervous realizing the responsibility we have over our heads and I’m not a detail oriented person

As title suggests, I’m entering my third week of MRT school and learning that we can be liable/sued for little mistakes such as using the wrong marker (eg. patient had surgery for a kidney, but because I used the wrong marker by accident his healthy kidney got removed instead of the diseased one). It makes me so nervous and stressed because I know I tend to forget little things and I’m not detail oriented. Is there any way I can improve myself?

Radiologists/Residents who hated MS3

I'm an MS3 currently on my OB-Gyn rotation just coming off my surgery rotation and feeling totally and utterly burned out from MS3. I don't feel like I'm learning much and a lot of the stuff I'm exposed to I don't really care about. MS1-2 were stressful at times but felt satisfying to me. It's somewhat difficult for me to attribute why I feel miserable this year, but I think it primarily comes down to feeling stuck in place and useless with questionable learning. I have been interested in radiology for the last year or so but have recently become somewhat disheartened by medicine as a whole. I look at the resident's on the service of surg/ob and wonder if I could even do it for another 5 years like a radiology residency requires. I'm not exposed to radiology residents much at my program and have little insight to how attainable it is to have a life outside of residency.

Thoughts on combined DR/NM pathways?

Hi all, hope you're doing well. I'm an MS4 currently applying into rads and was wondering what people's thoughts were on the (relatively) new combined 16 month DR/NM pathways available at some institutions? Is it worth it? Does it make you marketable? Can you practice DR and NM? I think it would be awesome to do DR/NM and then a body imaging fellowship (some programs advertise that combined residents do DR fellowships afterwards). Is this feasible/worthwhile?

An example: https://preview.redd.it/adyffljrdnu51.png?width=1078&format=png&auto=webp&s=4311181bf6dba9dc4ae093556f81d108d6df124a I have seen this multiple times already, from the same type of scanner (Philips IQon - Spectral CT) and I don't understand if this is intentional (and why would a radiologist choose this kind of scan) or some by product of using a spectral CT (and again, what is it good for?). Would really appreciate your wisdom and experience :) submitted by /u/MrNiceGuy143 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jfznb6/question_weird_waterpaintlike_image_quality/

How did you get over anxiety when starting clinical?

I am a relatively shy person in new situations. I really need to learn to throw myself in when it comes to practicing on patients and not just stand in the background. Any tips on doing this? I just constantly feel like I am going to be inconveniencing patients. submitted by /u/Bigpengo [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jg2hui/how_did_you_get_over_anxiety_when_starting/

Need Assistance with University Honours Project

I'm a computer science student at the University of Abertay in Dundee, Scotland, and I'm working on my honours project trying to develop an artificial intelligence system to read chest X-rays. Since I don't have any medical experience or knowledge, I'm looking for a trained radiologist to assist in labelling some chest x-ray images to help in the detection process. If you are interested in assisting, please leave a comment so I can DM you and discuss the details. submitted by /u/FibromyalgiaforBfast [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jfyf10/need_assistance_with_university_honours_project/

RadTech student here. I need some helping hand for my homework.

My CI asked us a question but I cannot fully answer this but only with the knowledge of professional RT. The rigidity of the technical aspects of performing diagnostic imaging procedures for patients may adversely affect the human caring delivered by the radiologic technologists. Can you guys give examples of this like a scenario and justify the reasoning? thanks a lot. submitted by /u/Repair-Thick [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jfvqds/radtech_student_here_i_need_some_helping_hand_for/

Guys please please answer this! So I got an abdominal CT scan with contrast. I’m freaking out about how much dose of radiation I got. Why does it say total exam dose product : 149-mGy-cm and then Total exam CT dose index 3 mGy. What does that mean? Please

I need assistance with a ''Final Paper'' on Radiology.

Hello there. First of all, I'd like to apologise if this is not the place for this, but I am truly in need of help. And second of all, apologise for my english, for it is not the best. ​ Anyway, I'm on my way to becoming a Radiology Technician, pactically finished it already and the only thing I have to do now is this ''Final Paper'' (I have no idea what the english term is, lol, but its basically that big project at the end of the course) ​ The thing is, they asked us to create a fictional Clinic, in wich we have to excecute these 3 themes: Hemodynamics, Nuclear medicine and Radiotherapy. Seems simple right? But it isn't, as we (people from the group) have no prior experience in the area, or in an assignment of this scale. ​ We need things like description of the Clinic, expenses, what exams we peform on the clinic, the equipment, basically we need to make this clinic seems as legit and operational as possible. ​ The focus on the assignment is the

Residency chances

Recently fell in love with radiology after my clinical rotation. I really got along well with the residents and enjoyed the work much more then anything else I have done. I would like to pursue it as a residency but before I go all in I need to know if I have a shot at matching. I am a 3rd year D.O student with a 234 step 1 and a 563 COMLEX. Bottom half of class due to a poor start but strong upward trend with no red flags. I have neuro related research and decent volunteering and leadership. I have seen the charting outcomes but I am concerned that most people with lower scores are self selecting to not apply and that may be skewing the match statistics to seem more favorable then they are. Just looking for honest opinions on if I should go down this road or look elsewhere, thanks for the advice! submitted by /u/doc_marinus [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jfhsdi/residency_chances/

What study material to use for CT Registry?

I used the 2nd edition Mosby's about 2.5 years ago, and it was a bit dated, I scored a 65. My deadline is this November and I've been using the Lois E.

Radiopaque ink

I work in a pathology lab and we often send specimen for x-rays. We use lead numbers that we tape onto the x-ray film next to each slice. It's time consuming and a bit messy. Do you have any suggestions for an easier method? Do any of you know of some king of radiopaque ink or markers that could make our lives easier?
