Do you ever think about becoming a RN?

[@aliquran7535]

You which one you recommend radiology technologist or MRI technologist ?

[@brownskinbeauty.]

One of the techs that trained me during extern is an MRI/CT tech. He would let me assist him by screening the patient, setting up for exams, cleaning and disinfecting the room, and he would let me sit in the room with him during procedures and he explained what he was doing every time I was there. I never considered anything past RT until then and now it's all I think about. We need more channels like this showing what we really do in the radiology world

Just found your channel today, I want to salute you bro. I've been an MRI tech since 1999. I like what you're doing, from the little I've seen so far. I encourage you to keep it up, it's good to see the younger generation motivated and positive. I especially liked when you mentioned compassion, such an important part of what we do. So few understand what we really do, it's neat to see you peeling back the curtain a bit to encourage and inspire others. God bless you and your wife.

[@TheSaLViGuRL]

Hello! I saw that you been an MRI tech since 1999 and I been thinking about being one too. I just wanted to know if MRI techs ever give vaccines/ deal with needles head on?

[@CarlosandKandisVids]

@@TheSaLViGuRL Hi Amber, thanks for you question, give vaccines, no, not inn radiology. You could probably volunteer to do that outside the hospital, but certainly not as an MRI tech. Deal with needles? Yes, most MRI techs start IV's regularly, unless you work in a really big department that has assistants or nurses that take care of that for you. I've worked in both environments. It's not that big of a deal, you can do it! I encourage you to learn more, I'll answer any question you have, if I can...

@@whitneyhull4310 DUUUUDE so sorry it took me so long to respond, I've been, and continue to be, on THE GRIND. Picked up a part time gig, and pretty much all of my free time is gone. Not complaining though, because that side hustle pays my mortgage with 12 hours of work. MRI techs are in short supply in San Antonio right now, and one of the hospitals in my system is so desperate they're paying me 133/hr to do that thing I do. I hope you come across something similar when you're trained up. The field could use some young go getters. I love to teach, been doing it a very long time. I'd enjoy giving you whatever tips and encouragement You'd like. Send me an email at [e-mail]

This seems so chill bro, you got some windows, the back room looks nice and quiet, doesn’t seem like you have a bunch of annoying co workers. I’ve been knocking out prerequisites since last year I’m so close to applying for a 2 year program through the community college here. Coming from almost 6 years straight of call center inbound customer service, really hope I get accepted. Thanks for the detailed videos man there’s not a lot of videos showing all the little details and shots inside the actual work place it really gives a more clear idea of what it’s like 👍🏽

This just makes me want to pursue RT after I get my cert for LMRT even more. I got (🤞🏼) 4 more weeks before extern and then 500hrs to log to graduate not counting the certification test itself.

[@MRIMan]

👌🏽 awesome

[@Theextremepessimist]

A tip to anyone going into this field. If you are new and going to an interview make sure they provide you with a registered tech, the ARRT is kind of vague on their sight but it seems the way I understand it, a MRI registered tech has to be able to vouch and sign off on your stuff not just a diagnostic Xray tech in mri. So in the interview make sure they have a registered tech, make sure they are BUSY. If they are slow, you won’t get the exams you need, and make sure you are not working alone most of the time, these are situations I’ve landed in and now I’m in a contract and I’m stuck just pushing buttons for the next two years. Again, find a busy place. Be ready to work, don’t be a lazy ass, if you want the easy road then by all means skip the registry and work at a clinic, you can take that easy road. But if you can obtain the diagnostic/CT/MRI registries the opportunists are as vast as a nurse and you can fetch way more cash than the average tech. That’s #1 reason why we are here the cash.

[@lm7913]

Thank you for this information. I do have a few questions. I’m 42 and considering going into this field. Is it too late for me/ do they not like to hire people who are older in age? Also, what does the pay range from when you first start out?

Hey. So what determines what hoe much of an area shows up on the images radiologist read. Does the coil determine the field of view for like the shoulder. Or is it the imaging planes that the tech chooses that matter.

The coil itself will always give you a limited field of view. We can adjust the FOV based on how much of the anatomy shows up on the coil.

I have been in excruciating daily pain ever since. I couldn’t speak and was convulsing for days after it was injected into me. You seem like a nice guy so I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you should really read the medication insert on the contrast solutions and warn your patients of the risks before you inject them. Gadolinium does and will destroy lives. I am only 24 years old and I am not sure how much longer I will be around to endure this pain. Hopefully you can save some patients from going through similar torture.

Iam sorry to hear you are going threw that. It's the doctors choice to order contrast. It's also the patients choice to receive contrast. We give them a form from FDA explaining all the risk vs benefits. Your case must be really rare. It's very interesting, I've never heard if that happening after 4 years of scanning. I haven't had a patient come back and tell me that. Being educated and giving education on contrast is very important. I hope you can pull threw. Would you be willing to do a interview and talk about your story?

[@kateskar]

@@MRIMan Sure, I would actually love to do an interview and chat. Is it possible to send a message via KZbin? I have never messaged anyone on here before but I can give you my contact info that way!

[@kateskar]

@@MRIMan I am just going to shoot your instagram a DM right now!

We’ve always given out contrast disclosures for patients. I’m afraid most of them probably don’t take it seriously and probably only skim over them. I’m sorry that no one was straightforward with you.

[@kateskar]

​@@gkcj15 Thank you for your kind words, Cody. From what I have seen, the disclosures vary from facility to facility. I have read about a dozen different disclosure forms. Some simply state that contrast is "quite safe," while others discuss the possibility of allergic reaction or NSF if the kidneys are not functioning properly. Despite that, there is third severe reaction called GDD (Gadolinium Deposition Disease), which is not stated in any disclosure form. If you know of any facilities that warn people about GDD, they are doing God's work and I would love to know where they are so I can recommend their service to others. That said, GDD sufferers all have functioning kidneys before their MRI. There is no single factor that sets them apart from other perfectly healthy people, so it can and does happen to literally anyone. Unfortunately, in GDD, you will see some people go from a perfect bill of health to lifelong pain as a result of just one MRI with gadolinium. For other GDD sufferers, it may have take a few MRIs with gadolinium to notice effects or to notice that their symptoms were coming from the gadolinium itself.

Do I need to know human anatomy like the back of my hand? I appreciate you showing this as.I am interested in this and doing travel. I read that I may have to assist the physician in finding out what's wrong with the patient is this true?

[@alohalisa975]

Hello! I’ve seen a couple of your videos and also on TikTok. I live in Murrieta, CA and I’m looking for an MRI program to be apart of however I can’t seem to find anything other than radiology programs. Does anyone know of cheap accredited programs near the area??

[@RealKevGotEm]

I don’t understand the cropping and slices and all. My mom tried to explain it to me and I still don’t get it

[@cassandrawhittington3372]

What would i need to do in case of someone denying me sedation? Im medically complex and i often require mris for various different things my last one was because of an infection of my foot so i went in feet first i have high anxiety when it comes to having imaging the noise of the mri triggers it even with hearing protection i asked for it and got told i would be okay i was going in feet first i wasnt okay at all i came out full anxiety attack and no one seem to care in the radiology department

[@adaumus]

Thanks for your videos. I have a question about loudness of the machines. Is that ever an issue for you as a tech? I’m guessing you’re usually in the other room, or can wear ear protection as you showed. I just like to protect my ears because I have tinnitus, and highly interested in becoming mri tech. Thanks again!

[@MRIMan]

Yeh we it r not loud at all for us on the other side

[@therelaxationstation5258]

The cage over your head is what freaks people out. If you show them they can just squiggle out of it and get out of the mri at any time it helps.

[@marioxphoto703]

This is the best day in the life I’ve ever seen. Finally someone going in depth I appreciate it!

[@MRIMan]

I appreciate that bro

[@klever678]

Thanks for the video bro, I’m just starting my MRI core classes, it’s awesome to see how your workspace area looks and what your workday is like 👍 keep up the good content 💯

[@MRIMan]

I appreciate you! And good luck! Let me know how it goes

[@danmcman1]

Da GOAT = MRI Man! Seriously though, thanks for this video. I am curious what is the deal with co-workers on shift? Is it normally just you and a manager everyday?

[@MRIMan]

🔥 yehhhhh! .. Actually we have 2 magnets back to back with 3 techs during the day. Right across the hall is CT and xray. It gets really busy . Also in the facility is Ultrasound. I couldn't cover everything. I want to some day

[@danmcman1]

​@@MRIMan Cool, man! I like having some comradery with coworkers and all.

[@mc4687]

Hello! I've been trying to get into the radiologic tech program in my city for the past 2 years (they admit through lottery selection and I haven't been lucky enough to get in) I feel as if I'm wasting time ... I'm getting discouraged but my university in my area requires a associates degree to begin their bachelor's program for MRI, CT or nuclear medicine... the associates can be in rad tech, sonography or radiation therapy... would it be bad to apply for the sonograpjy program and then finish that just so I can begin my bachelor's in mri? Or should I stay on course with rad tech and become multi functional in xray, mri and possibly CT as well? I'm stuck. Just want an honest opinion. Thank you so much for the videos

[@MRIMan]

I would say do what you are interested in. I didn't wanna do x-ray , I wanted to be just a solid MRI Tech. If I were you id just choose one path at a time. If your gonna be a Ultrasound tech you should stick to that for a few years. If you have patience you can become a multi modality tech. You mite have to do xray for 1 year or 2 with that low pay and than take another clinicals for MRI and pass the boards. You will be more likely to get a job in a hospital with xray. If you can muscle threw and hang in there that's the bet ter route.

[@bernadettenava1120]

Hello, I’m looking into MRI and I wanted to know is it mandatory to know how to do an IV? I’m not fond with needles or blood. 😬

[@MRIMan]

Yes we must obtain a IV license during the program. But many get over this fear!
