| what do we see in this image |
without having a T1 image to compare, it would be harder to be for sure...
But since it looks like the outter skin on the head, my guess would be a mole? (also could be small cystic lesion or fat in nature, but again hard to say without more images)

| Brain T2FS postcontrast |
Gadolinium relaxation times are too short for T2 weighted imaging, so T2 weighted is not tipically performed after contrast (unless used as a delay to give contrast time to peak before T1 FS is obtained).
Also I have never worked at any facility that uses T2 fat sat imaging on the brain. Not a whole lot of fat in the brain region!
FLAIR imaging is the norm...but I could stand corrected.

| ARMRIT in California? |
Facts and performance do support the indisputable fact that ARMRIT professionals have a greater depth of study and assessment of their technique. ARRT techs are grounded in the modality involving radiation. Cross-training is never the same as dedicated didactic and hands on training with the longest externship vis-a-vis all other modalities...and that is ARMRIT.
California is recognizing ARMRIT. Maybe not at the rate it deserves, especially in hospitals. But it is progressing. ARRT has had a monopoly as a registry. Ultrasound was correct in setting up its own registry. ARMRIT is exercising that right as well; as well it should considering it is a non-ionizing modality to begin with. Several times I have come across ARRT techs who cross-trained for MRI and continually demonstrate "button-pushing", time-cutting habits. I have come across ARRT techs who are employed and doing CT work who are not even certified to do CT!!
The scope of ARRT is wide and the medical system is too privatized to monitor abuses of ARRT techs practicing as non-certified CT or MRI personnel under the umbrella of another certified employee. This is a major loophole that is absolutely doing a great disservice to patients and misrepresenting imaging professionals across the board.
And to those who have stated that ARMRIT is taking away jobs from ARRT.....well, if the qualifications fit the position, then what is the issue with the more qualified, better trained professional being offered the position?
Facilities are recognizing the value of an MRI professional with dedicated training. I was offered a staff technologist position before I even took my boards; the first time in this company's history to employ ARMRIT over ARRT.
During my first 3 months as an employed MRI technologist, I quickly recognized several inefficiencies within many existing protocols used daily at the facility for which I worked. I could not understand how for so long before I started work there, that these inaccurate and unrefined sequences could not have been addressed. Well, an ARRT tech, cross-trained in MRI wrote them.
No disrespect to ARRT. This is not a critique but an observation of the disparity of the domination of ARRT as a registry for modalities it should not have jurisdiction over.

| I see a lesion on MRI that doesn't look like anything I know |
Imaging is becoming increasingly important in clinical Neurology. How many patients are still being diagnosed without undergoing an imaging exam? Brain MRI is a superior diagnostic tool, but can be very challenging to master. However, fast and accurate interpretation of the images is of paramount importance. Rapid advances in MR imaging mean that there is a lot of information to keep up with... Enter NeuroRadDDx: the online tool that helps you interpret brain MRI exams. It creates comprehensive differential diagnoses based on the imaging characteristics you see on your screen. To further aid you in finding in on the correct diagnosis, the software provides example MR images and links to relevant literature.

| What is the best review book? |
Hi there, I am planning to take a cross training course for my MRI license in New York starting in September. I graduated in Rad tech in May and I can find no jobs for starting rad techs. It's very discouraging. Anyway, I am moving on to MRI but the course is only from September to January ... 5 months! Because it's so fast, I want to get a review book and start learning. I don't want to waste time with a waste of a book though. Any suggestions and why? For Rad Tech, all i needed was Appleton and Langue and I passed in the 90s. I suspect I'll need a good book of questions with good explanations once again. Thanks a lot. Ken PS. How does the job market look? Anyone in NY? Techs have suggested doing CT first but I like MRI more so I plan to do CT from January to May. Then I hope to be more employable with all 3 of these licenses. I hope to stick with MRI though as a final career goal before working on becoming a lead or something more. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated.
