| ARMRIT in California? |
Im not a fan of anyone being overly critical of one or the other. Personally, I'm an ARRT tech certified in R and MR. I know Jim Coffin was trying to get AMRIT off the griound decades ago, and i thought "no way is this joker going to get this to fly ". That's not to say that Jim is a joker, but I knew he was one guy fighting a monopoly.
Let me say that he's done a hell of a job. He's gained more traction than I ever expected. I've known a bunch of his techs here in NY and I have a pretty positive view of them. I presently work with one and he's one of the best techs I've worked with. I'd let him scan my own wife.
On the other hand, I've been the manager of outpatient MRI at a major medical center and I wouldn't let most of the techs scan my cat.
I don't think you NEED to have a radiography background to be a good MRI Tech, but the experience from a clinical perspective has made me a far more well rounded technologist, but that's just me. I would have hired a qualified AMRIT tech, but my hospital didn't allow it. FWIW, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, one of the country's premier cancer center will hire AMRIT techs.
Ultimately, it's the individual doing the scan that makes the difference. I do think ARRT Rad Techs doing MR should get certified within a fixed period of time.....ie 6 mos-1 year. I have witnessed while lot of "button pushers".
My personal above to anyone considering a career in the field, I would go the RT route, as it is more widely accepted AND what is missed in the discussion is that you are a lot more marketable because you have the opportunity to learn and perform other modalities. There's a caveat. If AMRIT is legal in your state and they're hiring, I wouldn't hesitate to go that route. I just think that ARRT affords you more options.
Both have good and bad techs

I Have had chronic migraines and vertigo for about the last 15 years of my life. It has progressively gotten worse over the years and my doctors have not found any solid reason to give me for these symptoms. I have even been hospitalised several times from completely passing out when my dizziness and headache got very intense. Recently in the last couple of months, I have had pains in the back of my neck added to the symptoms I already have so I went to get an MRI for my head and neck. My doctors say the head look fine and that the problem I have been having is from my nose. My symptoms are very severe and there has to be more to this than just that so I am turning to the internet to seek a second opinion. If there is any further insight you can provide me about my scans it will be most helpful. if you can help please email me and i can send you more scan information

It is hard to see the exact artifact in this picture. It almost looks like wrap to me, but again hard to determine with pic provided. What else has been done to fix this issue? Have you changed the frequency direction or opened up your FOV?

I work in radiology and thinking about cross training into MRI. I reviewed the anatomy book and yes it looks like a lot of information in a short period of time. What is your experiences in the field? Fun? Too challenging? And tell me about the physics......thanks

'MRI Safety w VNS Lead Still In Body'

| MRI Safety w VNS Lead Still In Body |
Hello Everyone!rn:-)rnrnPlease forgive me in advance for making any newbie mistakes here. I am new and appreciate your kind correction of any errors that I might make.rnrnI am a patient with many, many illnesses. In 2006, I was in the deepest depths of depression and could not see any other way to treat it, other than the newly approved (then) Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) for depression.rnrnNeedless to say, it did not help at all and, after over 2 years of VNS therapy, my doctor and I agreed to turn it off. (It makes the neck muscles move when it is stimulating the vagus nerve, which can get annoying after a while.)rnrnWhen I got the VNS implanted, I was told that I would never be able to have an MRI done, except with special equipment, called a transmit & receive coil. This wasn't a problem because my hospital, Olympia Medical Center, here in Los Angeles, had one of these.rnrnHowever when they upgraded their equipment in the years following my implant, they no longer had a transmit & receive coil for the new machine, and I could not find any place in LA that did have this coil.rnrnNow, since I have so many illnesses in my life, the possibility that I will need an MRI in the future is great. Therefore, I called and spoke with the assistant of the Neurosurgeon at USC Keck Medical Center that implants VNS, and he could therefore remove the VNS.rnrnHowever, the assistant said that, while he could remove the VNS device itself, he would probably have to leave the lead to the vagus nerve in the body because of it's attachment to the nerve has probably grown in at this point.rnrnMy question is this: Will I be able to safely have MRIs in the future with this lead still in my body? At this point, I am thinking that I might have to have MRIs of my brain (Parkinson’s disease, exotropia), wrist (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), C-spine (prior to doing occipital nerve blocks). Do you have any other comments or suggestions on my situation?rnrnThank you very much for your kindest consideration of my post. I look forward to hearing back from you, and I will await your replies. rnrnBest regards,rnrn~Antonio Dominionrn:-)
