Dear Imaging Professional,
Thank you for taking the time to participate in this RAD-AID survey of imaging technologists with previous international radiology outreach experience. This survey aims to establish some common factors that exist among the roles and project duties of imaging technologists who participate in international radiology outreach initiatives. Furthermore, we hope to identify common challenges allowing for enhancement of image quality across all modalities within medical facilities in resource-poor communities around the world. The final results will be used as the basis for authoring a chapter entitled "Imaging Technologists for International Radiology Programs" within a RAD-AID textbook project focused on the niche of radiology outreach. As far as we are aware, this is the first time a concerted effort to document and analyze previous outreach experiences of imaging technologists has been undertaken.
Needless to say, you are one of a select few, and thus your responses are extremely valuable to us. We look forward to reviewing your replies to the following survey questions and thank you for your time and participation in this process.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Mazal, MS, RRA, RT(R)(MR)
Christopher Steelman, MS, RT(R)(CI), RCIS
