Radiography educator for 27 years and just saw an ASRT commercial on TV for the first time. Glad you’re getting the word out.

I love the video! But as a Radiologic Technologist, what is the ASRT actually doing for us to "Be seen". A lot of us pay dues to be a part of this community but have seen very little done for the profession. We are still seen as "less than" other professions in the hospital. During the Covid pandemic, my hospital didn't even recognize us as front line workers. We weren't fit tested for N95's. It's no wonder so many are leaving this profession. We can't do much when we are individual voices. The ASRT is far-reaching, please do something to help us "be seen".

The ASRT works very hard to increase Radiologic science awareness to patients, and promotion of this field to young students, and this podcast is evident of that hard work.

Terrific video that's long overdue. Thank you

Wow, after 40 years in imaging, I can say this is overdue - but well done! Thank you ASRT!

39 year X-ray/Mamm tech here. I was watching AGT and couldn't believe my eyes - a commercial about US!! I had to rewind it and watch it again! Thanks ASRT for FINALLY giving us some recognition for what we do day in and day out. Imagine trying to make a diagnosis without imaging- oh that's right-you can't!

I JUST dropped my daughter off at Thomas Jefferson University today. She is in the 4yr medical imaging- radiation sciences program. I'm so excited. A similar commercial ran tonight on AGT! I never saw it before. She wants to do radiation therapy and MRI. She can graduaye with 2 certifications. Take care all!

I graduated from the Radiologic Technology program in 1980, still working as an MRI technologist- we had several moves over the years for my husband's job and I have never had an issue in gaining employment. We deserve the respect and consideration that other healthcare professionals receive, this has been a long time coming.

19 years and counting as a CT Technologist. It's time. I take my job very seriously. Doctor's can't do their job without us, yet we are treated like we are not important. WE ARE IMPORTANT!

Wow, just wow!!! As an RTRM for 35 years, I have often been called nurse and respectfully let them know I am a radiologic technologist. I have also been called a technician and respectfully let them know I am a technologist. I have often been forgotten in my line of work, knowing without my assistance the providers would never be able to diagnose these patients. I applaud the ASRT for stepping up for our profession!!

Radiographer/Mammographer for 25 years here! Thanks so much for this!! I know we all feel like we aren't seen most times.

Extremely disappointing to see a commercial from the ASRT and have it only mention sonographers as “taking pictures of babies” sonographers do SO much more than that. I loved the idea of the commercial and I’m glad you’re bringing awareness but this is such a disservice to our neighbors in ultrasound!

Radiation Therapist for 42 years and proud to be part of an amazing group of healthcare professionals! This career has been exciting, challenging, and most rewarding!

Wow!!! What a phenomenal ad!! I retired from radiology a year ago after spending 50 years saying “take in a deep breath and hold it”🤣. I spent years in both the hospital setting as well as private practice. I knew my coworkers were very smart and proficient people, but it was always the doctors and nurses who were recognized for their patient care. In the early 80’s there was a catastrophic accident at the Hyatt Regency in KCMO. The hospital was put into emergency mode. Staff was called in. Almost every patient who arrived at the hospital needed radiology services due to crushing injuries or traumatic amputation. Like all of the other departments, radiology staff was working 14+ hr shifts for several weeks. When the hospital finally started to ebb back into a normal routine, the doctors and nurses were congratulated on saving so many lives. It was a punch in the gut, but I knew the impact my beloved radiology department had made during this catastrophe. Thank you ASRT for making us shine 🌟🌟🌟🌟

How about awareness about seeing all the patients in the hospital. Including x-raying the Covid patients. Hardly anyone realizes the exposure we had.

I became a radiographer almost 20 years ago. It is the best career decision I ever made! Thank you ASRT for helping us to be seen!

YEAH!! Now can we please have a proper Radiology Department with actual RadTech characters on Grey's Anatomy, Hollywood? After 20 years, don't you think it's time we stop watching the heart surgeons perform portable chest x-rays on that show, for the love of God?? CRINGE.

Thank you!! 👏🏽☢️❤️

Thank you for making this video. I've been a Radiographer for 22 years and still love what I do every single day. 😊

Thank you

Thank you so much!!! 😢🎉!!!!

We never closed our doors during the pandemic because our patients needed their Radiation treatments. Never referred to as the front line. ASRT Thank you 😢

This gave me goosebumps! Technologist for 18yr and counting at a level 1 trauma/ children's hospital/heart hospital/ stroke center........ Imagine Healthcare without Imaging!! Thanks ASRT!

This is awesome. I'm so happy as a student seeing this and being part of the community ❤

Tell patients not to bring in there cellphone 📱 in. Because of me cellphone 📱 was damage as a result of the radiation treatment. It some how dailed 911 five different times and one of them the cops called me and they were mad 😡. Asking were are you, I'm at half price books 📚 and I said that my phone 🤳📱 is mess up after radiation treatment I had.

Turn down the background music so we can tell what you are saying.

Fellow radiology tech here! Been doing it for 4 years and it’s such a rewarding career!

I couldn’t believe me eyes- was there really an add on TV highlighting Medical Imaging Professional? The time has come for us to be seen! Thank you ASRT

Thank you for sharing. I have been a CT Tech and multi- modality in all area but MRi.. As a Ct tech myself I have scanned many CT injuries to the head and neck to save time and lives..We are now doing in sec's multiphase scans for arterial and venous blood supple that can identify life issue instead of patient waiting for intervention to do so. helping also for surgical planning in orthopedics The U-tube video is not so accurate as it does imply that is a Radiation Therapist..are the head trauma scanning techs They have an expertise for planning treatments and giving rad therapy for treating Cancer.. along with nuc med tech who plan for treatments.. Thank you again for recognizing and educating on what are role is in medicine and how dependent the hospitals are for our services..

Ahhh my dream job! 😍🥰🤍

How to become a registered Radiology technologist in America I have done a bachelors degree in radiology and experience in cardiac Cath Lab

i appreciate you making this video trying to get into this field

Great awareness video!

I will be there - can't wait!

Retired

This is history that deserves to be talked about. Great job, Bill!

This really recognizes all the hard work our affiliates do every day. Great job, Bill!

Our very own historian on staff. Thank you, Bill! 👍

Great work, Melissa and to the ASRT staff!

Great work ASRT!

I'm Zaharaddeen Fakka 😎 ✌️

Useful!

It was a pleasure to share my day with you all ❤️☺️✨

Thank you

It’s pronounced Technologist not Technician…. Thanks for getting the word out ASRT!

Very proud of my 30 years as an imaging professional in diagnostic, Cath Lab, and Interventional Radiology. Great video, please keep sharing, people need to know who we are.

Thank you ASRT for listening. This recognition has been needed for many years. We all have to make a difference in being our own advocates and sharing the importance to the RT's coming up behind us. We have so much to give, offer and share. We are medical professionals!

As Radiology Technologist for 29 years and a Mammographer for 20 I definitively have felt the lack of appreciation and respect, specially in Mammography! If it is not now, when? Thank you ASRT
