"The repairman"?
I did a simple msn search on 'bone densitometry equipment repair' and came up with
http://www.medicregister.com/Bone_Densitometry_Repair_Services/Suppliers/pid12052.htm
This was one of many sites to search. You can take if from there.
Good luck,
hjh, RT

Do you have an opportunity to work as a student radiographer? i am doing that now and it is helping tremendously with my confidence, not to mention getting my foot in the door.

sorry to inform you, but probably not. Especially within the first semester. However, the college programs are set up differently and I am in a hospital based program. Hopefully someone in a college based program will be able to help you out.

Of course no one can make that decision but you but I will throw out my 2 cents.
My wife is a RN and I am an RT so I am able to see both sides of the fence.
There are three very distinct advantages to being a nurse versus an RT. One would be that the nursing shortage in this country, and the world for that matter, is staggering. There are more nursing jobs available than you could apply for in a week. Two, you can work in whatever environment you want to work. There are a hundred sub-specialties of nursing to choose from. Three, you can make as much money as you want to make. Work as many hours as you want.
Although I love taking X-rays, imaging does not have near the demand that there is and will continue to be for decades in nursing.
Congrats on completing High School, it seems you are on the right path.Good luck in whatever you do.

I would like to know if there are any good text books in anatomy and procedures for IR. I have purchsed a few but they are more for DRs than techs. I was told today that my IR team has a year to take the ARRT exam, or we will be dismissed. I have only worked in IR for 2yrs, our lab is outdated by 15yrs. We only do a small percent of what the ARRT test on PLEASE any advice?
