i'll try to keep this as up to date as i can, but please remember, this is a work in progress and web design is not my specialty. sue me...
welcome to delusional radiology. this site has been established by papa bear, for the means of properly educating people about medical radiology. too many people have looked at getting into the radiology field, and many times looked within the field for advancement, and recieved incorrect or inacurate information. this is one of my ways of helping people in the field achieve what they want to achieve, in the correct manner.
for those looking into the radiology field, we have a specific page here at delusional radiology for you. however, we feel that it is important enough to state this point on our home page. you may find many online radiology degrees on the internet. personally, i would highly suggest avoiding these at all costs. most of them claim that they can give you a radiology degree without spending all that time in the classroom, or they can get you through the program in less than a year. when it all boils down, the only schools that are worth the effort are those accredited by the arrt. the american registry of radiologic technologists is the association that regulates what we do. by law, if your degree is not from a school approved by this organization, you will be very limited in what you do. hospitals are required to have technologists who are registered with arrt, and the only way to be registered is to sit for their board exams. the only way to sit for their boards, is to complete courses at a facillity that has been accredited by them. basically, if you want to go into radiology, check with these guys first about the schools. most programs at local comunity colleges (i believe) have been approved by arrt, however it never hurts to check.
for those looking into cross training into another aspect of radiology, we can only vouch for CT scan at this time. papa bear has written "the book", which gives a quick introduction into some of the basics of ct. the book can be found on the downloads page. without personal expierence in the other fields of radiology, we feel it would be a disservice to you as a technologist to try and educate and/or introduce you to those areas. however, if somebody is willing to submit specific information about other fields in radiology, or would like to co-author a book in that area with papa bear, send him an email, and he'll try to do whatever he can. f.y.i., he does work 2 full-time positions, and works seven days a week. we would be more than willing to post the information somewhere here in delusional radiology.

=====================================================
what i'm currently working on:
 ok, i'm starting the second book. all you people who commented that the first one was "an idiot's guide to ct" haven't seen book 2. (note to the makers of the idiot's guide to ________ - please don't sue me. i only mentioned that because your wonderful series is what my book was compared to). in book 2, i dive into scanning procedures, and what to look for as a new CT technologist. i'll try to get my "network" of knoledgable CT techs (*ahem* dave?) to read through the book and make sure i'm not giving people bad lessons.
