I have a question about Radiologic Tech. Please read!?

I am interested in becomingd a radiologic tech but i am not exactly sure on how to do this. I heard that a radiologic tech and branch off to mri or cat scans. I heard the a RT that branches off and goes to MRI can make 83k a year in cali fornia, is this true? and is this right out of school when they make that much or is it after working as MRI RT for like 20 years? I was also wondering , say if i become an RT, do i just take the classes at the hospital that i work at to get my MRI License? or how does this work? its it really hard to become an RT with mri license and is there alot of math involved?

    You can go into radiology then branch off into MRI. Rad tech demand is declining. MRI is improving just a little. 83k a year is with experience. In the midwest MRI techs make about 44k to 50k to start. You no longer need to be an rad tech to be a MRI tech. This was the case not too long ago. Since then schools have opened up. Reason being is that MRI uses no radiation. Check with the ARRT, community colleges in your area, and JRCERT for further information.
