| ARMRIT to ARRT pathway - - - HELP |
To previous poster,
Since you placed your post I'm aware of several ARMRIT certified graduates of MRI School of Minnesota with jobs in unrelated MRI centers in Minnesota and Wisconsin. In addition to the graduates that have been employed at the clinical affiliate site, 4 are employed in private MRI centers and one with the Veteran's Administration.
Other than multi-modality job requirements, presentation on one's resume, cover letter and at the interview are the primary reasons for rejection by employers.
One recently hired graduate mentioned that the interviewer had remarked about not being impressed by a previous ARMRIT job applicant because of that candidate's presentation. Apparently that person had received a rejection letter citing ARRT certification preference as one of the reasons, yet this employer was willing to interview another ARMRIT-certified applicant, who was hired the same day.
There are also disgruntled ARRT certified graduates on forums like these who are feeling the same way as you do about their schooling and certification.
Though the job market is competitive regardless of level of schooling, just wanted to encourage you and other ARMRIT and ARRT qualified techs out there to hang in there, gain insights from past interviews, and wear your certification as your crown in good faith.
With the approaching CMS' deadline for certification of all MRI techs by January 2012, as well Health Care Reform's requirement for increased MRI utilization rates in the upcoming years, more dedicated (not multi-modality) MRI tech positions are expected to open up.

I think that the question is, can you use a display near the magnet, inside the RF shielded room?
The short answer is, No, unless it's specifically marked MR-safe and/or included in equipment that's specificaly designed to be near the magnet, such as an injector.
The problem with using, for example, a monitor from Best Buy is that it will probably emit RF energy that will corrupt the very weak MRI signal recieved from the patient's body. Of course, there is also the question of anchoring the monitor to prevent it from being attracted into the magnet.
In general, an off the shelf monitor will not be affected by the magnet.
You can buy special RF shielded monitors, or enclosures.
If you were thinking about adding a patient DVD viewing capability, there are several other concerns to keep in mind. The signal feeding the monitor must be filtered where it enters the RF shield.

| mr scanner next to physio therapy clinic |
Hey Hussein!Sorry I could not help you in giving any suggestion on equipments front. I just liked this idea. So thought of giving some views. This, as such is a great thought actually. It would be a boon to both the clinic as well as the patients. In many cases MRI and physiotherapy are quite related. So patients who needs to go for MRI and physiotherapy, need not have to run here and there. Even the owner of the clinic could get good number of leads. Very nice idea just implement it sensibly.

| Building 3d Volumes from MRI DICOM |
In almost all cases, MRI images have a slice thickness far greater than their in-plane resolution, making multiplanar reconstruction meaningless. Also, most MRI images have a gap between the slices, which also renders multiplanar meaningless and impossible (unless you're happy with black bars where the slice gaps exist).
You can look at your images and the slice thickness is on the graphics. the slice gap is usually not displayed, but if you look at the slice location displayed on adjacent slices, and compare to the slice thickness, you can easily compute the slice gap.
The in-place resolution is (approx) the field of view divided by the acquisition matrix, both of which are also printed on the image somewhere.
By the way, if you have the dicom (.dcm) files, there is lots of data that's 'hidden' that you can access with a full featured dicom file editor.

| ARMRIT to ARRT pathway - - - HELP |
Kevin Patana, in 2008, asserts that ARMRIT is "not misleading people," which is technically true. There may be imaging centers in one of the regions he mentions (MN) who are hiring ARMRIT certified techs. If anyone who browses this forum is able to demonstrate even one center for which that is true, it would come as a breath of fresh air. MRI School of Minnesota is one program in the Twin Cities area turning out ARMRIT certified techs. Despite hopeful attempts by these graduates, nearly all of us have not found jobs in the field of MRI. Center For Diagnostic Imaging (CDI), St. Paul Radiology, and Regions Hospital have all submitted in writing that they are not considering ARMRIT certification adequate for hire at their centers. One reason they cite is that their techs need to be (RT) in order to be "multi-modality." During my interview with St. Paul Radiology recently, I was courteously informed that I could not be considered a "tech" in the sense they were using in their job description. Scant experience with venipuncture, total unfamiliarity with MRI School Of MN and ARMRIT, and the need for multi-modality techs were the stated reasons in my face-to-face meeting with them.rnOn a positive note, ARMRIT techs are being hired somewhere--and one graduate of the school who was already employed at an imaging center was promoted to MRI tech, although this tech claimed to be "constantly challenged about [his/her] certification" and aptitude in the field. rnOne question leveled to me in my interview at St. Paul Radiology was, "Why didn't you go to Century/Argosy? (The established ARRT diploma vendors in our area.) I found myself ill-prepared to defend the ARMRIT, only referring to ACR certification, which elicited blinking stares. rnOthers have sought to supplement their ARMRIT certification with local X-ray certificate add-ons.rnWe hope that with further education of the public and local imaging centers, techs may 'break in' to the field, making the ARMRIT certificate more recognized and legitimized. At present, however, it serves as a $16,000 rectangle of parchment with one side blank for a grocery list.
