Did you know that High-quality digital mammography depends on well-trained professionals and advanced technology, such as the Selenia Dimensions and 3Dimensions systems? The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) mandates thorough training for all personnel to ensure optimal use of these systems. Key Requirements according to MQSA Regulations: ➡ Medical Physicist: Must have at least 8 hours of training in digital mammography before independently performing mammography surveys on digital systems. ➡Radiologic Technologist: Must meet all MQSA personnel requirements, including at least 8 hours of continuing education in digital mammography before independently conducting digital mammographic imaging procedures. ➡Interpreting Physician: Must meet all MQSA personnel requirements, including at least 8 hours of training in digital mammography before independently interpreting digital mammograms. These stringent standards ensure that our professionals possess the highest knowledge and skills to provide accurate and reliable results for our patients using Selenia Dimensions and 3Dimensions systems. #HealthcareInnovation #EarlyDetection #Mammography #MedicalTechnology #PatientCare #HealthcareHeroes #medsourceimaging

🚨 **Call to Action!** 🚨 As a healthcare recruiter who’s all about supporting Rad Techs, I’m reaching out to rally for a big change. We need to shift how Radiologic Technologists are classified—from "technical" to "professional"—to truly reflect the skills and dedication they bring to their jobs every day. Why does this matter? 🤔 1️⃣ **Proper Recognition**: It acknowledges the advanced training and expertise of rad techs. 2️⃣ **Respect**: It gives their role the professional status they’ve earned. 3️⃣ **Better Support**: It means more resources, training, and career growth opportunities. 👉 **Here’s How You Can Help:** 1. **Share this post** to spread the word. 2. **Sign the petition** to support the reclassification: https://lnkd.in/e78KbvDC) 3. **Join the chat** with the hashtag #RadiologyProfessionals and share your thoughts. 🔹 **View the video below** to learn more about why this change matters and how you can get involved. Let’s get together and make sure Rad Techs get the recognition they deserve! 💪✨ #RadiologicTechnologists #ProfessionalRecognition #HealthcareSupport #RadiologyAdvocacy

🔍 Did you know that behind every clear diagnosis, there’s a Radiology Technologist ensuring precision and patient care? 🏥 ⩥ This is where we, as radiology technologists, come in to play this fundamentally important role within this entire diagnosis and treatment process. We are not just some kind of machine operator; we are that important link in a chain that continues the patient's journey more homeward-bound toward health. ⩥ We work closely with the radiologists, physicians, and nurses to make the imaging process as smooth, safe, and efficient as possible. Whether performing an X-ray, a CT scan, or an MRI, we ensure that the right images are taken with precision to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. ⩥ It is not only about having technical proficiency, though. We also support the patients' anxiety, especially when undergoing complex imaging studies. By explaining the steps properly and offering a reassuring presence, we make the time less stressful for the patients. ⩥ In every scan, there's more at work than just the technology to locate a professional dedicated to quality and patient care. This approach to teamwork makes healthcare truly patient-centered. #RadiologyTechnologist #HealthcareTeam #PatientCare #MedicalImaging #DiagnosticImaging #Radiology
