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?

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?
