| ARMRIT in California? |
Does anybody know the general laws regarding ARMRIT techs and being employed in hospitals? I've noticed that most hospitals don't accept ARMRIT techs for some reason, but the Los Angeles County hospital now accepts the certification as a qualification when hiring for MRI technologists. I don't know if there's a law banning ARMRIT from private hospitals because if the county accepts it, then I'm assuming there isn't a law.
It's pretty frustrating to experience being rejected because you're not ARRT-- even if it's for an MRI position. I can understand if the job requires you work in different modalities other than MRI, but I'm assuming not all hospitals/imaging centers require their MRI techs to do more than MRIs.
I believe that ARMRIT techs are just as qualified to do MRI's as any other certification. ARMRIT techs are actually trained specifically for MRI. ARRT-only techs only need some on-the-job training. They're not required to pass any MRI exams (although they may get ARRT-MRI cert if they wish) or take MRI-specific classes. ARMRIT techs are. I would say that if you compare an ARMRIT tech vs. an ARRT tech who both just graduated and are ready to work, the ARMRIT tech is actually more qualified to do MRIs.
I'm not trying to discredit the non-MRI certified ARRT techs. I'm just trying to lay out the logical reasons why ARMRIT should not be dismissed to do MRIs. I do believe, however, that MRI should go the way of ultrasound, in that it should be considered separate from radiology in the sense that it doesn't use ionizing radiation. This use of totally different technologies and means of acquiring images should be recognized by the hospitals and imaging centers, and should not rule out ARMRIT because of the power of the ARRT lobby.
I believe the universal acceptance of ARMRIT as a respectable certifying body would help hospitals and imaging centers become more competitive and may be able to cut costs because ARMRIT techs may accept less pay just to get their foot in the door and work for a larger company.
If any of you has any information or suggestions on how to get ARMRIT accepted as a qualification to all MRI facilities, please let us all know.
Also, if anybody has any information on how Oregon, Ohio, or West Virginia allowed ARMRIT techs to be board certified, please include it here too.
Thanks!

| Hyperintense blood vessels in SE |
I am troubled by the blood vessels appearing bright on routine SE T1w images of the brain on 3T TIM system.
How can I avoid it?
Can I substitute T1 SE by T1 IR as a part of routine protocol?

| Building 3d Volumes from MRI DICOM |
3D Volume Rendering is not just a graphic aid for trial like a medical illustration, but an actual clinical tool. Segmentation of an MRI image involves the clear delineation of organs and features.
3D Volume Rendering is becoming essential for displaying CT and MRI results as the images can be visualized and understood by non-radiology physicians and laymen easily.
But as its new to the legal community, 3D Volume rendering has been admitted as evidence at trial on numerous occasions and has yet to be excluded. As it involves medical illustrations and animations together hence this technology is encountering initial objections that will be overcome easily in near future.

| Best pulse sequences for spinal cord demyelination? |
Small spinal cord lesions, even if clinically significant, can be due to the low sensitivity of some pulse sequences. Demyelinating lesions are better seen on STIR-FSE images, on which the number of lesions are significantly higher than on FSE, while the FSE and CSE images show approximately equal numbers of lesions.So as STIR-FSE has high sensitivity to demyelinating lesions,it can be considered quite specific and should be included in spinal MRI for assessment of suspected demyelinating disease.

Hey! The role of an LCD display is only to draw a picture of the signals emitted from different body tissues. Hence the size of the display doesn’t put any effect as such. But the bigger the display is, the clearer will be the image. So it’s better to go for 32” LCD display with full HD resolution for clear picture.
