Preconceived Ideas regarding X-ray field
Introduction to RT

The Incredible Hulk was hit by a gamma bomb in order to become the Hulk. Can this really happen?Peter Parker was bit by a radioactive spider and gains his “spidey” powers. Can this really happen?Irradiated vegetables are dangerous because they become radioactive. Is this true?After the x-ray exposure, the technologist must wait at least a minute before entering room because the radiation is still present. Cell phones give off radiation and can cause cancer. Cockroaches can survive the radiation from a nuclear blast and will take over the world when it happens. Too much radiation or too many x-rays will cause you to glow in the dark. The x-ray program is easier than the nursing program.

Emergence of X-ray into a Medical Field
1st Rad Tech considered to be Edward Jerman
Founding of ASXT in 1920 Name change to ASRT in 1964 due to
the proliferation of specialties No longer “tech trade” but now a
profession Profession needs analytical thinking and
problem solving skills

Requires education Requires proficiency in clinical exams Requires examination Requires Registration
Certifies that technologist has been trained and is proficient in performing exams.
Does NOT grant license to practice Uses designation of R.T.-Registered
Technologist
