Well I know that the last group that graduated from PIMA all passed their
registry the first time. As far as my class we lost one student because it wasnt for him. I am set to take my registry in three weeks but maybe I shouldnt bother because I went to PIMA. NOT you get back what you but in which was hard work and the willingness to learn.

From a seach on the Johns Hopkins Hospital website -

"Conventional CT (also called dynamic incremental scanning), is generated by directing an X-ray beam at several different angles and levels of the abdomen. Contrast dye, given to the patient orally and/or intravenously, helps to make the organs visible by appearing white on the X-ray films. A computer processes the X-ray information and produces the CT images, usually as 1/2-inch cross-sectional slices of the abdomen."

I'm sorry iraydee8 I assumed that this forum was to help people and give them information and not a "I'm better than you session." If that's what it is... I'm a female combat medic who served in Iraq for over a year and a half, who was awarded a combat medical badge for saving peoples lives while getting shot at, I own 2 homes, have no debt, and know how to use spell check. Now if you want to one up me it's your choice, but I'd rather try helping people than being ignorant.

For all of those whom gathered issued with me using the wrong terminology, I apologize. Although I realize that most of you have much more important things to ponder I still feel obligated to address those who don't.

eslater1:

I hope that Pima will instruct you the one and only professionally accepted carrer choice of jobs. We, those who have graduated and passed an accediated school of Medical Radiography, all study hard and have good moral values call ourselves Medical Radiographers, or Radiologic Technologist, in no way do we ever refer to ourselves as "Radiology Technicians.....PRT (Practical Radiology Technician) and RT ( Radiology Technicians"

I surly hope once you graduate from this $$ hungry school that you will address your profession as one so deserving the correct terminologyl

Thanks for listening and learning!
