Radiology

The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for a Radiologic Technologists and Technicians.

Preparation for this profession is offered in hospitals, colleges and universities, and less frequently at vocational-technical institutes. Hospitals employ most radiologic technologists. Employers prefer to hire technologists with formal training.

Education and training. Formal training programs in radiography range in length from 1 to 4 years and lead to a certificate, an associate degree, or a bachelor's degree. Two-year associate degree programs are most prevalent.
Some 1-year certificate programs are available for experienced radiographers or individuals from other health occupations, such as medical technologists and registered nurses, who want to change fields. A bachelor's or master's degree in one of the radiologic technologies is desirable for supervisory, administrative, or teaching positions.
The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology accredits most formal training programs for the field. The committee accredited more than 600 radiography programs in 2007. Admission to radiography programs require, at a minimum, a high school diploma or the equivalent. High school courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology are helpful. The programs provide both classroom and clinical instruction in anatomy and physiology, patient care procedures, radiation physics, radiation protection, principles of imaging, medical terminology, positioning of patients, medical ethics, radiobiology, and pathology.

Licensure. Federal legislation protects the public from the hazards of unnecessary exposure to medical and dental radiation by ensuring that operators of radiologic equipment are properly trained. Under this legislation, the Federal Government sets voluntary standards that the States may use for accrediting training programs and licensing individuals who engage in medical or dental radiography. In 2007, 40 states required licensure for practicing radiologic technologists and technicians.

Certification and other qualifications. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) offers voluntary certification for radiologic technologists. In addition, 35 States use ARRT-administered exams for State licensing purposes. To be eligible for certification, technologists generally must graduate from an accredited program and pass an examination. Many employers prefer to hire certified radiographers. To be recertified, radiographers must complete 24 hours of continuing education every 2 years.
Radiologic technologists should be sensitive to patients' physical and psychological needs. They must pay attention to detail, follow instructions, and work as part of a team. In addition, operating complicated equipment requires mechanical ability and manual dexterity.

Advancement. With experience and additional training, staff technologists may become specialists, performing CT scanning, MR, and angiography, a procedure during which blood vessels are x rayed to find clots. Technologists also may advance, with additional education and certification, to become a radiologist assistant.
Experienced technologists also may be promoted to supervisor, chief radiologic technologist, and, ultimately, department administrator or director. Depending on the institution, courses or a master's degree in business or health administration may be necessary for the director's position.
Some technologists progress by specializing in the occupation to become instructors or directors in radiologic technology programs; others take jobs as sales representatives or instructors with equipment manufacturers.

The highest paid radiology tech jobs are found in California. The national average of salaries for radiology techs is $56,000. These same jobs pay $86,000 in California.

Answer-

Radiology provides excellent career options. It is an important part of modern medical science and play an important role in identifying sources of disease and reducing the possible risks of further spread. After getting education and training in radiology you can get jobs as x-ray technician, Ultrasound or nuclear medicine technologist, and radiologist etc.

A starting tech should see a starting salaray from 18 to 22 dollars an hour depending on where you work

Radiology is the examination of the inner structure of opaque objects using X-rays or other penetrating radiation. In the radiation branch of medical science, radiology is the use of X-rays or other penetrating radiation for examination and/or treatment of medical conditions. Radiography is photography that uses other kinds of radiation than visible light to produce an image on a radiosensitive surface by radiation.

A radiology technician's salary depends on a number of factors, such as experience, amount of education, and job location. The average salary is anywhere from $45,000-$53,000, and it can even be as high as $57,000.

If your looking for all the schooling one takes its about 4-5 years to complete schooling you might go to a community school if thats the case you might have to transfer to a different or stay at the college your at it just depends on the college your going to.

that depends on the modality(s) you chose after your initial training i.e.

Straight Radiographer w,a CT training up to appx 70k a year. but usually about 30 an hour give or take. I f you Have a Nuclear Med Licence or Radiation Therapy up to 100k

Becoming a radiology technologist involves completing a 2-year associate's degree program. When completed, the student is qualified to work in hospitals, physicians' offices and diagnostic imaging centers. Many students go on to earn a bachelor's or master's degree part time while working. Some schools will also offer a shorter certificate program which leads to certification in one area. Typical courses include Introduction to Radiologic Technology, Radiographic Physics, Principles of Radiographic Exposure, Advanced Radiographic Procedures Computed Imaging, Positioning and Related Anatomy, Nursing Procedures, Patient Care, Medical Terminology, Sectional Anatomy, Concept Integration, Pathology, Quality Assurance, and Radiation Biology and Protection In highschool you should take anatomy and physiology (called Biology II), lots of chemistry, physics, and all the math you can handle.

Also, join the high school band. Big correlation between medicine and music.

Also, in case you do interventional radiology, start taking piano lessons. Helps with the manual dexterity.

ARRT Stands for "American Registry of Radiology Technologists"

ARRT is the world's largest credentialing organization that seeks to ensure high quality patient care in radiologic technology. We test and certify technologists and administer continuing education and ethics requirements for their annual registration.

The M256A1 is used to detect and identify blood, blister and nerve agents present either as liquid or as vapor. It can also be used to determine when it is safe to unmask after a chemical or biological attack, and in locating and identifying chemical hazards.

This kits is not an alarm, but is instead used as a tool after soldiers or first responders have received other warnings about the possible presence of chemical or biological warfare agents, and have responded by putting on their chemical protective clothing.

It isn't.

In almost everyone, the heart is on the left side of the chest. On a chest x-ray, however, the heart is on the right-hand side of the picture because that is where the patient's left is! It is as if the patient is standing in front of you, facing you... their right is on your left and their left is on your right.
