| ARMRIT to ARRT pathway - - - HELP |
Hi Gerald, the reason that it is hard to obtain a job as an MRI technologist is that many studies (such as tumor) as you know require the use of Gad. By not being ARRT, it is illegal to inject patients for that reason. Institutions know this and the liability is too great to have a non-certified person injecting contrast. I have been an RT ARRT for a few years now. The ARRT is not offering a pathway for non-RT's. I don't know where people get information. There is a list of schools that the ARRT support at ARRT.org for MRI training, and only by completing the approved institutions will you be able to sit for the boards. Although to go through the approved schools for the ARRT you have to be an RT first. I think that the ARMRIT is misleading people with their training and that is unfortunate. I wish you luck in your hunt for work. I would think about taking the RT school since you already have the training.

| ARMRIT to ARRT pathway - - - HELP |
I currently work with an open magnet. It's by Siemens Magnetom Concerto. The system is an open unit, low field magnet. I have almost 2 years experience as an MRI Technologist, with experience on head & neck imaging, upper and lower extremities, MRA and MRV. I am also CPR and IV certified. In addition, I have 1 month training with the Siemens trio 3T closed unit.
Without the ARRT certification, it has been a challenge. I am willing to show clinics and private facilities what I'm a capable of doing most scans and my dedication to the MRI community, but with only ARMRIT certified tech, it's so rare to get opportunities.
Hope you can help, thanks.

Thank you very much for your answer, Michael.
No, in France the doctors often forget to take care of the quantity of Gado we inject... and I think the problems of NSF are not very well known in France... There are not many studies which tell that the patients have fibrosis after Gado injection. The doctors who work in the department where the patients are hospitalized don’t know the effects of Gado injection in the nephropathy disease. So, it’s very difficult to know if there are NSF after Gado…
There are still many doctors who don’t know that metallic things are so much attracted… We have to take care when a doctor (not a radiologist, luckily) get into a MRI room. So, you can easily understand that NSF are unknown! ;-)

Thank you very much Reader, for you answer very quickly! Sorry, I didn’t express myself very well. No, I don’t want to know about the “Gauss lines” (it’s how we say in France).
In the site of the World Health Organization, they talk about “The International EMF Project”.
I’m searching for informations about the effets of the magnetic fields on the human health. And the laws, if they exist in USA?
In France, there are no limits or laws which say the limits (time limits, job in high fields…) when you work at mri.
We just tell the pregnant not to go in the mri room. That’s all. I think you’re getting ahead France in this domain. For me, mri technology is like radiology’s first times, when Marie Curie discovered that tumor increased while X Ray exposure increased. You know?

Hi,
I'm not really sure which information you need.
Here are some links which may help you:
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/ode/guidance/793.pdf
or try to search the FDA website by yourself
http://www.fda.gov/search.html
or try to search Health Canada (also in french):
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/index_e.html
search for "specific absorption rate", "MRI guidelines"
Hope this helps
