Going straight in to MRI without becoming a Rad Tech?

By

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?

AI for radiology - A survey

By
Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
