Radiologic technology and education: the role of the radiologist

Present methods of accreditation of education of all programs in radiologic technology and credentialling of radiologic technologists are based on the activities of the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRC-ERT), and the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), but with increasing role of government in this process. Because it is so important to radiology and radiologists that this process continue, radiologists are urged to play a more active role.
