- American_Society_of_Radiologic_Technologists abstract "The American Society of Radiologic Technologists is the world’s largest and oldest membership association for medical imaging technologists and radiation therapists.ASRT members are the health care personnel who perform diagnostic imaging examinations and who deliver radiation therapy treatments. They may specialize in a specific area of radiologic technology, such as computed tomography, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging or nuclear medicine.The ASRT provides its members with educational opportunities, promotes radiologic technology as a career, and monitors state and federal legislation that affects the profession. It also is responsible for establishing standards of practice for the radiologic science profession and developing educational curricula.The ASRT is governed by an elected seven-member Board of Directors and a House of Delegates. The ASRT also has affiliate relationships with 54 state or local societies for radiologic technologists. These affiliate societies operate independently of the national organization, but ASRT provides them with assistance and guidance upon request.The ASRT's mission is to give radiologic technologists the knowledge, resources and support they need to provide quality patient care. The ASRT accomplishes its mission through the following:• Meetings. The ASRT conducts two national meetings annually. Each June, the ASRT Annual Governance and House of Delegates Meeting is where delegates meet to set direction for the Society and the profession. Each fall, ASRT conducts a Radiation Therapy Conference in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology. Educational courses at this conference focus on radiation therapy and medical dosimetry.• Publications. The ASRT publishes two peer-reviewed research journals. The bimonthly journal Radiologic Technology keeps readers informed about advances in technology and patient care. It also offers ASRT members the opportunity to earn continuing education credit through its Directed Reading program. Radiation Therapist, published twice a year, focuses on technical advances in radiation oncology. It, too, features a Directed Reading program. ASRT Scanner is the society’s member magazine. In addition, the ASRT operates a Web site, www.asrt.org, which contains news, information about the profession, educational material for patients and a variety of professional resources for radiologic technologists.• Career Resources. The Society tracks members’ CE credits and issues an annual report that can be submitted to a certification agency as proof of continuing education. It conducts regular salary surveys of the profession, providing valuable information about income levels and trends.• Advocacy and Representation. The ASRT monitors and responds to all state and federal legislation that affects the profession. It is working with other radiologic science organizations to establish federal minimum standards to ensure that patients receive the best care possible. The ASRT also educates the public about the role of registered radiologic technologists in providing quality patient care, sponsoring National Radiologic Technology Week each year to raise awareness about the profession.• Professional Issues. The ASRT works with the profession’s accreditation and certification agencies to develop and revise educational curricula, implement entry-level standards for the profession and establish practice guidelines. The ASRT also helps recruit students to careers in radiologic technology, works with equipment manufacturers to help implement technological change, and represents the profession in the governmental, educational and research arenas. The Society has been instrumental in the development of the radiologist assistant, a new career level for radiologic technologists. The first educational program for radiologist assistants opened in 2003 and the first graduates were certified as radiologist assistants in 2005.".
