The 2019 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Survey was conducted to assess how radiologic technologists and radiation therapists are using AI and to assess their perception of the future implications to practice as AI becomes more broadly employed. The results were used to prepare the white paper, The Artificial Intelligence Era: The Role of Radiologic Technologists and Radiation Therapists.

Safe, high-quality patient care is a number one priority. Examining best practices in the field can help ensure that everyone is doing their part to make sure all patients receive the best care possible. The Patient Safety and Quality in Medical Imaging white paper examines the role of the radiologic technologist in this critical endeavor.

The Role of the Radiation Therapist

Each year, approximately 14 million people around the world find out they have cancer. Almost two-thirds of these patients in the United States will receive radiation therapy treatments at some point during their illness. This white paper examines the critical role of the radiation therapist in ensuring each one of those patients receives the highest level of care possible.

ASRT Associate Executive Director of Learning and Membership Myke Kudlas shares the results of a nationwide survey of radiologic technologists. Outcomes can help assess the knowledge gap in technology among R.T.s as it relates to patient dose.

New Skills Acquisition

Continuous professional development can provide a great return on investment for managers who invest in their employees. Acquiring new skills and practicing lifelong learning behaviors can help health care providers prepare for new imaging technology or modalities more quickly when they arise. This article presents a comprehensive effort to improve the methods and opportunities for training faced by radiologic technologists in a demanding and constantly shifting work environment.
