Abstract:
Subject research was conducted to determine if certified radiographic technologists (CRTs) would be adaptable to learning new modalities within the radiographic field. A questionnaire was completed by a total of 248 CRTs where 70.6% were females and 29.4% were male. The questionnaire probed various stages of acceptance to learning new modalities via cross-training. Results support CRTs, adaptability to learning new modalities via cross-training. Findings indicated that the question "Did you enjoy learning new modalities?" had statistical significance and CRTs with 0-7 years of experience showed significance over those with 16 plus years of experience.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
