Questions about ARRT ARRT State Licenses.

I'm a 20+ yr tech and I'm about to pay and upload all my CE credits into the ARRT website; I can't help but wonder how much money they have made from me and everyone else over the years.

Then I think about my local Maryland license, while the ARRT has to keep records of all of us, what in the world does the State do for me (us)?

My condolences if youre still paying the ASRT to keep track of your CE's. Thats a huge waste of money.

I'm certain we've all these had conversation around the office already, but in contrast to the rest of the working world it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep paying some of these people right? The state doesn't offer any regulatory function for us. Do they recommend wage or salary increases with the health institutions? Are they regulating the output of students?

Inflation increases and medical policies continue to flux but we aren't even invited to the table for these conversations....Why?

What about you techs in unions? Are you guys seeing better management of cost of living increases/raises/student to work ratios? Should the rest of us unionize?

Thanks for reading and replying.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

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/

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? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
