Solving Problems

Associations like ours play a critical role in developing the safety and technical standards that impact consumers every day, in every kind of industry. For radiologic technologists, the practice standards developed by ASRT are the defining reference guide for what is appropriate in practice. These comprehensive workplace criteria protect the radiologic technologist and the patient, and they were developed by the members of our own association.
