As a radiologist I know for a fact that patient care would literally come to a halt without you guys. Please know that you’re appreciated!

CT tech for 11 years. As one of the biggest revenue creators for the hospital, we’re also one of the most overlooked. Covid in 2020 really showed how invisible we are in medical imaging. With all the outpouring of resources and support specific to nurses and doctors and even respiratory therapists, we were somehow omitted even though we were then ones who usually found the evidence of covid before the test results came back and before the patient was in isolation. So many in my profession have become burnt out in the last 3-4 years. My facility offers considerable sign on bonuses and still struggles to keep full staff.

Only our own see us, staffing is a national issue and increased rates for newbies and sign on bonuses are great. My only rebuttal to this is what about rewarding those who have been loyal and even withstood the trials and tribulations of the extra work… somehow they “don’t qualify” for pay increases because “market adjustments”. Lets be real, rewarding those who are vital keeps morale high and incentivizes others to raise the bar.

This is so so true. I did so many chest X-rays before the patient was placed on isolation. Sometimes we would see the patients before any doctors and X-ray from the waiting room. So we were the frontlines.

Love this. As an imaging professional, we are sometimes treated poorly by doctors, nurses, and patients because in their eyes we are "just a tech". I can't tell you how many times in my career as a Radiology Technologist and Mammographer I've heard that I was "just a tech". Thank you for recognizing us and our contribution to healthcare and patient care.

Thank you ASRT for listening. This recognition has been needed for many years. We all have to make a difference in being our own advocates and sharing the importance to the RT's coming up behind us. We have so much to give, offer and share. We are medical professionals!

Shared. We shouldn't be used to feeling like the "red headed step child" of the hospital, while in fact, most departments couldn't function without our help. We don't even get acknowledged by our hospital system during RadTech Week.

Radiographer for 20 years and Nuclear medicine tech for 16 and I Love this video and really need for us to BE SEEN. I’m an educator now and students often ask me why we never get any recognition. Hopefully this will change with the ASRTs effort with this and subsequent videos. I’m sharing!!

Thank you so much to these professionals, who deserve to BE SEEN. 🤟

We’d love to learn more about your experience working with a medical imaging or radiation therapy professional. Share your story at asrt.org/BeSeen.

It’s pronounced Technologist not Technician…. Thanks for getting the word out ASRT!

I literally have a sweater stating that I’m a rad tech not the nurse! This is major for us!! We all need to be more present at school career days as well. Make ourselves more available to the youth.

I am so incredibly happy to see this!!! As a CT, MRI AND XRAY tech, we need to be seen and recognized for how we help in the medical industry!! Proud to see and share this video ❤

Wow!!! What a phenomenal ad!! I retired from radiology a year ago after spending 50 years saying “take in a deep breath and hold it”🤣. I spent years in both the hospital setting as well as private practice. I knew my coworkers were very smart and proficient people, but it was always the doctors and nurses who were recognized for their patient care. In the early 80’s there was a catastrophic accident at the Hyatt Regency in KCMO. The hospital was put into emergency mode. Staff was called in. Almost every patient who arrived at the hospital needed radiology services due to crushing injuries or traumatic amputation. Like all of the other departments, radiology staff was working 14+ hr shifts for several weeks. When the hospital finally started to ebb back into a normal routine, the doctors and nurses were congratulated on saving so many lives. It was a punch in the gut, but I knew the impact my beloved radiology department had made during this catastrophe. Thank you ASRT for making us shine 🌟🌟🌟🌟

We never closed our doors during the pandemic because our patients needed their Radiation treatments. Never referred to as the front line. ASRT Thank you 😢

39 year X-ray/Mamm tech here. I was watching AGT and couldn't believe my eyes - a commercial about US!! I had to rewind it and watch it again! Thanks ASRT for FINALLY giving us some recognition for what we do day in and day out. Imagine trying to make a diagnosis without imaging- oh that's right-you can't!

Love this outreach to patients and the general public! Who knew your local hospital has lots of amazing professionals besides doctors and nurses?!

Radiation Therapist for 42 years and proud to be part of an amazing group of healthcare professionals! This career has been exciting, challenging, and most rewarding!

I couldn’t believe me eyes- was there really an add on TV highlighting Medical Imaging Professional? The time has come for us to be seen! Thank you ASRT

As Radiology Technologist for 29 years and a Mammographer for 20 I definitively have felt the lack of appreciation and respect, specially in Mammography! If it is not now, when? Thank you ASRT

Very proud of my 30 years as an imaging professional in diagnostic, Cath Lab, and Interventional Radiology. Great video, please keep sharing, people need to know who we are.

In my role as an educator and technologist, I appreciate ASRT creating this video and spreading the word about this excellent career path. This helps to highlight our vital role in the world of healthcare! Much appreciated.

I graduated from the Radiologic Technology program in 1980, still working as an MRI technologist- we had several moves over the years for my husband's job and I have never had an issue in gaining employment. We deserve the respect and consideration that other healthcare professionals receive, this has been a long time coming.

I became a radiographer almost 20 years ago. It is the best career decision I ever made! Thank you ASRT for helping us to be seen!

Wow, just wow!!! As an RTRM for 35 years, I have often been called nurse and respectfully let them know I am a radiologic technologist. I have also been called a technician and respectfully let them know I am a technologist. I have often been forgotten in my line of work, knowing without my assistance the providers would never be able to diagnose these patients. I applaud the ASRT for stepping up for our profession!!

Thank you! You have no idea how long I've been hoping for something like this and I'm sure it's appreciated by us all ❤

Excellent video..I am proud to be a part of this much needed field of medicine.

Excellent video!!!! Great job ASRT❤

Radiographer/Mammographer for 25 years here! Thanks so much for this!! I know we all feel like we aren't seen most times.

I JUST dropped my daughter off at Thomas Jefferson University today. She is in the 4yr medical imaging- radiation sciences program. I'm so excited. A similar commercial ran tonight on AGT! I never saw it before. She wants to do radiation therapy and MRI. She can graduaye with 2 certifications. Take care all!

Wow, after 40 years in imaging, I can say this is overdue - but well done! Thank you ASRT!

Thank you for making this video. I've been a Radiographer for 22 years and still love what I do every single day. 😊

19 years and counting as a CT Technologist. It's time. I take my job very seriously. Doctor's can't do their job without us, yet we are treated like we are not important. WE ARE IMPORTANT!

thank you ASRT!

Great video. Everyone needs to appreciate these professionals!

Thanks for using all this amazing technology in a safe and effective way.

This gave me goosebumps! Technologist for 18yr and counting at a level 1 trauma/ children's hospital/heart hospital/ stroke center........ Imagine Healthcare without Imaging!! Thanks ASRT!

This is an interesting video, I love Radiology,is my life. Am a radiologist since 2003, I learned all about imagin: Nuclear Medicine, Magnetic Resonance, Mammography, ECG and EEG. Etc.

Thank you for sharing. I have been a CT Tech and multi- modality in all area but MRi.. As a Ct tech myself I have scanned many CT injuries to the head and neck to save time and lives..We are now doing in sec's multiphase scans for arterial and venous blood supple that can identify life issue instead of patient waiting for intervention to do so. helping also for surgical planning in orthopedics The U-tube video is not so accurate as it does imply that is a Radiation Therapist..are the head trauma scanning techs They have an expertise for planning treatments and giving rad therapy for treating Cancer.. along with nuc med tech who plan for treatments.. Thank you again for recognizing and educating on what are role is in medicine and how dependent the hospitals are for our services..

Thank you for sharing. Check out our website as well: asrt.org/BeSeen.

Extremely disappointing to see a commercial from the ASRT and have it only mention sonographers as “taking pictures of babies” sonographers do SO much more than that. I loved the idea of the commercial and I’m glad you’re bringing awareness but this is such a disservice to our neighbors in ultrasound!

And technologists are moving into PACS roles as well!

This is amazing❤️ Love my Radiology Team☢️

Fellow radiology tech here! Been doing it for 4 years and it’s such a rewarding career!

Amazing job! Thank you ASRT

@RYANizDANK @ChanceBridges Thank you. We appreciate your comments and thanks for supporting the Be Seen campaign. Every modality is represented in the commercial either in the narrative or in pictures. In addition, every modality is front and center in the final frame of the commercial. In a 30 second- or one-minute commercial, we couldn’t include a specific narrative about each individual practice area. The purpose of this campaign is to educate the general public about the profession. As such, after consulting with the national public relations firm we worked with, the recommendation was to highlight the practice areas that are most recognized by the general public with a goal of pointing people back to the Be Seen website to learn more about all of our practice areas. In highlighting modalities that the public recognizes, the commercial creates a hook that encourages people to go to our website and learn more about the importance of all of our practice areas. Please be aware that we plan on highlighting each of the 12 practice areas individually in future campaign phases. Thank you very much again for your dedication to the profession and the work you do.

The Be Seen commercial will air on variety of social media, network television streaming platforms, and other streaming services such as Hulu. It will target both the general population and health care professionals based on their behaviors, interests, and job specialties. Targeting includes people who are interested in health and wellness, are health care providers, people who follow relevant social media profiles relating to health.

Great awareness video!

How about awareness about seeing all the patients in the hospital. Including x-raying the Covid patients. Hardly anyone realizes the exposure we had.

Funny, Nuclear Medicine wasn't mentioned specifically!

In the ASRT forums they (ASRT) mentioned that they are going to be releasing a series of these talking about each Modality. There was a bone scan at the last flurry of images.

YEAH!! Now can we please have a proper Radiology Department with actual RadTech characters on Grey's Anatomy, Hollywood? After 20 years, don't you think it's time we stop watching the heart surgeons perform portable chest x-rays on that show, for the love of God?? CRINGE.
