    I love how you show the behind the scenes of radiography because I feel most people aren’t familiar with it. For someone like me who is in the same field, it’s nice to be able to relate and see how different each facility is. I am taking my CT registry soon as well and would love to see how you’re studying for that. Great video as always❤️

Now i understand my shortcomings. You and Xray Rey are killing the platform. Good luck reaching 100k. Im registed in Xray, CT, and MRI. Got my masters in Healthcare last year, now i am a PhD candidate in Doctoral in Healthcare leadership. Perhaps ill make videos about those avenues of education. Good luck.

I was able to rotate through CT as a student but unfortunately i was never able to rotate through mri so idk if I’ll be interested in it or not. Either way, i know how ct works so if mri is anything like that i think I’ll like it. Can you make a video over the pros & cons of each modality? So i have a better idea of which one to choose 🙂

    All of that information is on the ARRT website! www.arrt.org/pages/earn-arrt-credentials/initial-requirements/postprimary-requirements/education-requirements-postprimary/supporting-category-requirements CT is considered a post-primary modality *only*, so you have to have credentials in a supporting discipline (radiography, nuc med, radiation therapy, or sonography). After having those primary credentials, you can either: 1. do on-the-job training (which what I'm doing!) OR 2. take an expedited online CT training course and then find a clinical site MRI can be a primary OR post-primary modality: For primary: 1. attend a specialized MRI school For post-primary: 1. obtain your primary credentials, then do on-the-job training

    They're synonymous! Radiography is sometimes specific to just x-ray/radiology, whereas MIT sometimes can refer to a person that is trained to do multiple modalities (ex. x-ray, CT, MRI, dexa, etc). The terminology kind of just depends on your region/country that you live in

    @@asianboy2177 Yes, you have to start an IV to do the contrast injection in CT/MRI. The Radiologist injects into the spinal column for lumbar punctures. The rad tech just assists with the fluoro tower and set-up. We do not insert nasogastric tubes - nurses insert these. However, we do get called on portable chest/abdomen x-rays for NG tube placement. That will depend where you work, but usually you only work in one modality. This will be outlined in the job listing. Modalities require more training.

    That's actually not true that you are always exposed to radiation. As a CT tech, I am always behind a lead lined protective booth. I have only ever had a very low reading on my dosimeter once since working at this facility and that's when I was covering in x-ray and had to hold patients. Any time a tech has to be in the room to hold, you have to wear a lead apron, lead thyroid collar, and your radiation dosimeter at collar level. Surgical techs, nurses, anesthesiologists, surgeons, etc are all exposed to radiation on a daily basis too when they're in surgery cases requiring a c-arm.
