Going straight in to MRI without becoming a Rad Tech?

Hey, guys, I've seen a question like this asked similarly by someone pursuing a bachelor's in MRI in Canada. In my case I would be pursuing an ARRT-certified Associate's in MRI from Dallas College here in Texas, which would allow someone with no experience in medical care to jump in to the career. My original plan was to do the typical route of becoming an RT, then getting cross-trained/returning to school for other modalities such as CT, Mammo, etc, and eventually my ultimate goal of MRI.

I understand most hospitals want someone with some Rad Tech experience, but I also l know that the physics of Radiologic Technology is unrelated to the physics used in MRI. Do you guys in the U.S know of any MRI techs who were educated only in MRI, no Rad tech experience?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/
