The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) has created an online learning program to help would-be CT technologists prepare for a career in the modality.  

For the first time in eight years, the number of people taking radiologic technologist (RT) certification examinations in nuclear medicine, radiography, and radiation therapy declined in 2009.  

The average wage for radiologic technologists (RTs) fell 2% in 2009 compared to 2008, and "dozens of new graduates" are unable to find employment, according to a report released this week on compensation for allied health professionals.
