This article reports on a survey of educational programs in radiography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and sonography. The purpose of the survey was to help educators validate their individual program requirements by providing a profile of educational programs in each discipline. Survey results demonstrate similarities in program length, academic system, faculty teaching load and enrollment size. Major differences were found in clinical hour requirements and credit hour conversion.
This article examines the role of the radiology practitioner assistant (RPA), a physician extender first defined in the 1970s. The purpose of the research was to determine RPAs' accuracy in recognizing abnormal image patterns and their ability to independently perform gastrointestinal fluoroscopic procedures. The results support previous research indicating that technologists with additional education, training and radiologist supervision can detect abnormal image patterns and perform fluoroscopy successfully.
