Osiris can do this, but it's on a slice by slice basis the last time I tried it, which is quite tedious. And it's not FDA approved for that application, I believe.
But GE probably has a tool you can use for that; why don't you ask your GE rep?

| Deaf MRI technicians? |
Hello,
I'm deaf, COULD speak but I prefer communicating in American Sign Language because it means a lot less guesswork than lipreading.
I've been thinking of enrolling in a MRI program at home in Canada after I graduate from the university I am at now. I've always found it fascinating, but when I tried to ask the program director about deafness they only told me of academic supports available.
Figured this might be a good place to ask. How much of being a MRI technician involves talking to the actual patients?
There will not be interpreters available for me on a daily basis, nor do I wish to constantly use them. If there is a lot of communication with the patients themselves, is there often anyone else around (like a nurse) that could talk to them instead?
If there's anything else you might need to know before answering, can just ask away!
Thank you in advance for your answers, it'll help me figure out if this is something I'd like to pursue for certain!

| ARMRIT in California? |
Well first of all, it will probably be difficult to find a job regardless of which license/certification you have. There's just not too many positions available. Secondly, most hospitals that I've come across don't hire ARMRIT techs for some reason, so it will be hard to get work in a hospital. Some imaging facilities also only hire ARRT techs. It's not impossible to get a job especially of you're willing to relocate somewhere outside of Southern California. If you really want to work at a hospital here, you can try to convince whoever is in charge of hiring to consider the benefits of hiring an ARMRIT tech. I spoke with the president of ARMRIT, James Coffin, and he told me there are a few ARMRIT techs working at hospitals. If that's true then at least there's no laws banning ARMRIT from hospitals. It's just up to us to show them we're worth hiring.

| ARMRIT in California? |
Does anybody know the general laws regarding ARMRIT techs and being employed in hospitals? I've noticed that most hospitals don't accept ARMRIT techs for some reason, but the Los Angeles County hospital now accepts the certification as a qualification when hiring for MRI technologists. I don't know if there's a law banning ARMRIT from private hospitals because if the county accepts it, then I'm assuming there isn't a law.
It's pretty frustrating to experience being rejected because you're not ARRT-- even if it's for an MRI position. I can understand if the job requires you work in different modalities other than MRI, but I'm assuming not all hospitals/imaging centers require their MRI techs to do more than MRIs.
I believe that ARMRIT techs are just as qualified to do MRI's as any other certification. ARMRIT techs are actually trained specifically for MRI. ARRT-only techs only need some on-the-job training. They're not required to pass any MRI exams (although they may get ARRT-MRI cert if they wish) or take MRI-specific classes. ARMRIT techs are. I would say that if you compare an ARMRIT tech vs. an ARRT tech who both just graduated and are ready to work, the ARMRIT tech is actually more qualified to do MRIs.
I'm not trying to discredit the non-MRI certified ARRT techs. I'm just trying to lay out the logical reasons why ARMRIT should not be dismissed to do MRIs. I do believe, however, that MRI should go the way of ultrasound, in that it should be considered separate from radiology in the sense that it doesn't use ionizing radiation. This use of totally different technologies and means of acquiring images should be recognized by the hospitals and imaging centers, and should not rule out ARMRIT because of the power of the ARRT lobby.
I believe the universal acceptance of ARMRIT as a respectable certifying body would help hospitals and imaging centers become more competitive and may be able to cut costs because ARMRIT techs may accept less pay just to get their foot in the door and work for a larger company.
If any of you has any information or suggestions on how to get ARMRIT accepted as a qualification to all MRI facilities, please let us all know.
Also, if anybody has any information on how Oregon, Ohio, or West Virginia allowed ARMRIT techs to be board certified, please include it here too.
Thanks!
