MRI techs: Are you required to assist in changing cardiac device settings in your workplace?

By

Hi all,

I am wanting to know if any inpatient (or outpatient) MR techs are having to assist with changing cardiac device settings (placing the remote over the cardiac device and then the device rep will program the device from another location).

Is this considered being within our scope of practice? Are we liable if an event occurs?

My concern is that if we have ICD, and it gets turned off, and if the patient needs therapy while the scan occurs (aka shock), and the patient codes, we won’t have anyone turn the ICD back on.

Medtronic seems to be pushing for MR techs to assist so their reps don’t have to be on location during patient scans.

Any feedback will be useful. Thank you.

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.

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.
