Sonographer to MRI technologist?

By

Hi, I am going to graduate in May as a cardiac sonographer, ARDMS Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer (RDCS). According to my community college's MRI program website, I meet all application requirement except for:

ARRT Certificate – Current certification as a radiologic technologist through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. (ARDMS, American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers and NMTCB, Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board certifications are acceptable substitutes.)

  • Which I would meet after I graduate in May as I'll be registered by ARDMS.

The ARRT primary requirements for MRI seems to be this page: https://www.arrt.org/pages/earn-arrt-credentials/initial-requirements/primary-requirements

So I just want to confirm, I don't need to be a radiologic technologist (ARRT RT) as I can substitute that with my ARDMS RDCS? What else do I need to do to become an MRI technologist for the ARRT? Since it seems straightforward from what I need to do for the community college portion.

I reached out to the program director, just figured I'd ask here in the meantime if anyone has any knowledge or experience with going from ultrasound to MRI.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
