| ACR Compliance Question |
Yes, you should be able to drop the unwanted sequences. You should only submitt to the ACR the sequences that you will be using on a daily bases.

| ACR Compliance Question |
In 2010, we submitted a knee for our MSK module in our ACR accreditation. Over the past three years, a few new radiologists have come on board, and the preferred knee protocol has changed. But we've continued using the sequences that were submitted to ACR in order to be compliant. At this point, we have three different sequences that NONE of our radiologists care about... and it's basically adding time to each procedure without being beneficial to the patient. But we HAVE to perform those scans.
We are currently getting re-accredited - but we are submitting a wrist this time for the MSK module. Once we get approved, can we drop the unnecessary sequences in the knee and be compliant since we will be using the submitted sequences in the wrist?

| Hitachi Airis II question |
I have a question for a Hitachi Airis II .3T non-upgraded gradients
On T2 FSE sequences especially on thumb sagittal slices. Image quality very poor, grainy. What is ideal bandwidth and TE settings for improving image quality? Also is positioning and angle of slice a factor in image quality. The closer the anatomy is to edge of coil, does that effect image quality.
Thanks Brent

| ARMRIT in California? |
Facts and performance do support the indisputable fact that ARMRIT professionals have a greater depth of study and assessment of their technique. ARRT techs are grounded in the modality involving radiation. Cross-training is never the same as dedicated didactic and hands on training with the longest externship vis-a-vis all other modalities...and that is ARMRIT.
California is recognizing ARMRIT. Maybe not at the rate it deserves, especially in hospitals. But it is progressing. ARRT has had a monopoly as a registry. Ultrasound was correct in setting up its own registry. ARMRIT is exercising that right as well; as well it should considering it is a non-ionizing modality to begin with. Several times I have come across ARRT techs who cross-trained for MRI and continually demonstrate "button-pushing", time-cutting habits. I have come across ARRT techs who are employed and doing CT work who are not even certified to do CT!!
The scope of ARRT is wide and the medical system is too privatized to monitor abuses of ARRT techs practicing as non-certified CT or MRI personnel under the umbrella of another certified employee. This is a major loophole that is absolutely doing a great disservice to patients and misrepresenting imaging professionals across the board.
And to those who have stated that ARMRIT is taking away jobs from ARRT.....well, if the qualifications fit the position, then what is the issue with the more qualified, better trained professional being offered the position?
Facilities are recognizing the value of an MRI professional with dedicated training. I was offered a staff technologist position before I even took my boards; the first time in this company's history to employ ARMRIT over ARRT.
During my first 3 months as an employed MRI technologist, I quickly recognized several inefficiencies within many existing protocols used daily at the facility for which I worked. I could not understand how for so long before I started work there, that these inaccurate and unrefined sequences could not have been addressed. Well, an ARRT tech, cross-trained in MRI wrote them.
No disrespect to ARRT. This is not a critique but an observation of the disparity of the domination of ARRT as a registry for modalities it should not have jurisdiction over.

Hi,
I had a good experience with coronal FLAIR SPIR, FLAIR wtih FAT SAT. In chronic stages it´s even better than contrast enhanced, STIR and other sequences...
