Like everything in life, there’s always a need to push for a
higher standard. It doesn’t matter what we do or how we do it, we always want
to get better. Diagnostic Imaging is no different in the sense that the
standards in terms of technology and performance are being pushed on a daily
basis. As society advances, so to does the need for a stronger push for more
effective healthcare on a worldwide basis.
Over the last 35 years we have gone from relying on the X-Ray's capacity, to
the MRI, to the CT Scanner. So, how are
the standards being pushed in technology today? The standards, according to a
recent article, are being pushed in terms of education for professionals. It’s
fair to assume that the reason for pushing higher educational standards is
aimed at creating a far stronger core of future imaging professionals and also
strengthening the one that exists now. The current manner in which educational
standards are being pushed ranges from education to licensing.
There is currently a taskforce that was formed by the
Society of Nuclear Medicine Technologist Section (SNMMITS) and the Section for
Magnetic Resonance Technologists (SMRT) that’s recommending additional
education in forums such as Master’s Degrees. Considering that diagnostic
imaging has become a major staple for prevention and treatment in issues from
broken bones to complex conditions, it’s fair to shoot for higher standards in
licensing. There are many great technologists out there already and to want to
improve them as far as capability goes in only
Diagnostic imaging is not just a technology and it goes far
beyond just being another test to perform. Diagnostic imaging plays a vital
role in treating patients and the better the professionals, the better the end
result. Hopefully this push for higher educational standards will continue far
beyond licensing and coursework and result in a greater and more effective
professional.
