Gadolinium - blood brain barrier
Does Gadolinium cross blood brain barrier? I am having a neck and spine MRI with Gaolinium contrast for detection of CSF leak. Can intravenous vein administration of Gadolinium get into the neck and spinal cord?

ARMRIT in California?
Well first of all, it will probably be difficult to find a job regardless of which license/certification you have. There's just not too many positions available. Secondly, most hospitals that I've come across don't hire ARMRIT techs for some reason, so it will be hard to get work in a hospital. Some imaging facilities also only hire ARRT techs. It's not impossible to get a job especially of you're willing to relocate somewhere outside of Southern California. If you really want to work at a hospital here, you can try to convince whoever is in charge of hiring to consider the benefits of hiring an ARMRIT tech. I spoke with the president of ARMRIT, James Coffin, and he told me there are a few ARMRIT techs working at hospitals. If that's true then at least there's no laws banning ARMRIT from hospitals. It's just up to us to show them we're worth hiring.

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
Prolonged T1 relaxation times, decreased T1 tissue contrast, and increased susceptibility rnare typical effects at high field MRI.rnDue to the longer T1 times at 3T, the signal rnintensity inside the vessels is preserved even in smaller vessels. Try TR 700, TE 10.rnInversion recovery sequences are very well suited for optimal gray to white matter contrast, but enhancement after administration of gadolinium may not be visible.
