Is it possible to get a certificate before an associates?

I'm interested in becoming a radiologic technologist and have found a accredited associates program I am interested in. The only problem is I don't think I can afford to take two years off to go through a program. Is it possible to get a certificate as something like an x ray tech first which would only be about one year, then try to save up money from that job? I understand that the more skills you have (CT, MRI, Sono, etc) increases your employment opportunity and salary which is why I'd like to get an associate's then try for other specialized certificates. It just seems like x ray tech is kind of at the bottom and you work your way up from there.

Tldr; can I get an x ray tech certificate if I haven't gone through an associates program?

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something?
