      I have a question for you. so on one of the websites for The limited rad tech program they say that it's faster to get in to a technology program by going through as a technician because you can avoid the waiting list by returning to a private radiology college in to pursue becoming a CRT. Is this true?

    • @thexrayzone
      @thexrayzone  2 роки тому

      @@v3rde776 Usually not true but that’s how Private Colleges get you.
      Let’s think about it so limited rad tech is possibly 6 months and in a private school that’s $20K.
      Now if you go back to that same Private College for regular radiology Technologist School than that’s usually 2 years and that’s another $45K if you don’t bring in your prerequisites.
      So total your looking at around $60K
      Totally not worth it!
      I would suck it up and go to a State Or Community college YES it would be more competitive but so worth it because usually those course are around $10K !
      So my suggestion take your time and go the Public route 💯

    LMRT is registered with the ARRT and it's 210 questions. The full breakdown on what you can do can be found on their website along with "content specifications" LMRT can do the following:
    2. Extremities
    3. Skull/Sinuses
    4. Spine
    5. Podiatric
    There is allot you have to know and it's no joke. You need to know allot more for RT obviously, but it's no easy exam by any means.

      LMRTs don’t do Skull or Sinuses.
      They also don’t do KUBs and Orbits.
      LMRTs do Chest, Extremities and Torso skeletal to include the spine.
      And yes it is a lot to know.
      Not to consider the fact that LMRTs are also Certified Medical assistants to include all back office Nursing duties.

    Lmrt are required to take a state board in Texas. It's 200 plus questions. Also they are tested to do skull,chest,abdomen, extremities,and podiatry on the board. If they pass they can perform those x rays I'm a clinical setting. The core is very similar to the ARRT. It covers everything except the flouro and portable. What you are describing is an "NCT" (non certified tech) but yes LMRTs typically do not work in hospital settings . I'm studying to get full registration as we speak . I'm not sure about other state laws

    Lmrt can take skull upper extremity an lower extremities an chest an spine. only difference is all the other modified projections an we cat do ct MRI an all other different modalities. An lmrt can do more schooling to become a rt. Nct is maybe what your referring to. An we are license by Arrt.

      At least when your X-ray you can work at an urgent care and work only days and have family time when you get home.

    Interesting video! I'm at a point where quite frankly, I'm bored as hell of my current job (Phlebotomist) and I've gone as far as I can go where I work. I've been considering going back to school and learning Xray and while looking into schools, I've noticed a couple places near me offer "Limited" X-Ray. I haven't done enough to look at what that actually means (though I guess it's all in the name) but your video really put it into perspective as far as what my possibilities are if I went for it. Found one school where in a year I can get it BUT if in 2 years of schooling I can REALLY open up my doors for my future (both in job opportunities and financially), then I think I will start looking more into actually becoming a Rad Tech.

      My opinion of you want to be in Radiology just go for the real thing RT.
      Yes it’s 2 years but after you can make more money & open yourself to amazing opportunities like learning CT & MRI.
      Right now most hospitals are offering $15K sign on bonuses!
      You will NEVER get that with a limited licenses.

    I can only answer for Colorado since that is where I am registered. I had to take a 80hrs class with 480 hours of clinical time in order for the state to allow me to sit for the ARRT provided limited exam.
    We can shoot all extremities, Skull, Spine, Ribs, even KUB and portables here. We cannot do florocsopy.
    This certification tends to be an add-on skill for someone that already works in health care. Such in my case a Medic that works in Urgent Care. Hospitals will hire a Limited during times of shortages. The pay for a Limited is often reduced by 10% - 20% vs a RT (R) this is very dependent on the environment you are working in and your additional skills.

    What are you talking about dude? Limited x ray technicians can work In any setting…Limited X-ray techs do pretty much every x ray except abdomen and skull…you literally have no idea what your talking about dude? I’m a limited x ray tech and been in the field for 7 years, I’ve worked in a hospital setting, imaging centers and different urgent cares and doctors offices, Limited x ray techs work pretty much anywhere Radiologic techs works except for Intervential Radiology….I’m not sure what school you went to but Here in California, most schools require students to first Become and LMRT before they can go into the RT program.
    Limited x rays techs pretty much do everything that RTs do except fluoroscopy exams and of course not MRI or CT or ultrasonography…Limited x ray techs are registered with ARRT…And yes we are Certified MAs not “trained in medical assistant”…You probably went to a Direct Radiologic tech program that’s why your info on limited techs is wrong.

      I meant no disrespect towards LMRT but I’m from FL and here I’ve NEVER seen a LMRT work in a hospital because they are semi useless so to the fact that you CAN’T do FLUORO, OR (C-ARM), you can’t like you said do MRI or CT so basically in FL it’s not worth hiring a LMRT because they are limited 🤷🏽‍♂️
      Here in FL you go straight into a Full Radiology Technologist Program you don’t have to waste time and do LMRT because that double the registry exams you would have to do and for what 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Hi@@thexrayzone I'm from Florida and I am preparing for the ARRT exam. If I want to take the LMRT exam just to have a job because there is a clinic close to my house that is hiring, does it count here for ARRT's 3 attempts?
