The report analyzed survey responses from more than 400 directors of American Registry of Radiologic Technologists-approved radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine technology, sonography and MRI programs, according to a Dec. 19 news release from the ASRT.
Here are four notes from the report:
- Enrollment in radiation therapy programs grew from 1,302 in 2023 to 1,663 in 2024.
- For the same time period, enrollment in nuclear medicine technology programs increased from 903 to 1,403.
- Enrollment in sonography programs increased from 3,144 to 5,511.
- Enrollment in MR imaging programs increased from 555 to 1,004.
The study provides additional insight to the bottleneck situation exacerbating the current radiologist shortage.
