Radiologic Technology

PURPOSE: To determine if there is a discrepancy between how orthopedic surgeons perceive the quality of plain radiographs compared with that of radiologic technologists. METHODS: A prospective survey was developed including 42 deidentified plain radiographs. Included radiographs were of varying anatomical regions, patient positioning, and radiographic parameters. Participants were requested to score each radiograph on a scale from 1 (very poor) to 100 (very good) based on their overall subjective definition of radiographic quality...

PURPOSE: To analyze peer-reviewed articles in the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) scholarly journals, Radiologic Technology and Radiation Therapist , and identify types of research and collaborative efforts among top producers. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted by searching the Radiologic Technology and Radiation Therapist archives on the ASRT website to evaluate peer-reviewed articles from 2011 to 2021. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was created to document the types of research being published in the ASRT journals, as well as the number of authors for each peer-reviewed article, education levels of authors, collaborative efforts of top producers of scholarship, and mean authorship index of top producers...

PURPOSE: To determine whether radiologic technologists' perceptions of determinants of radiation safety culture differ significantly based on their primary role. METHODS: A secondary analysis of deidentified data from 425 radiologic technologists who participated in the Radiation Actions and Dimensions of Radiation Safety questionnaire, a 35-item survey with valid and reliable psychometric properties, was performed. Nine determinants (dependent variables) of radiation safety culture were analyzed in this study...

PURPOSE: To examine radiologic science programs' contingency planning related to the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Using a mixed-methods approach, educators in magnetic resonance, medical dosimetry, radiation therapy, and radiography programs were surveyed to identify curricular changes, policy implementation, and financial implications related to pandemic recovery efforts. Quantitative data were summarized using descriptive statistics and percentages. Thematic analyses were performed on the qualitative responses...
