Which areas of study does the ASRT SEAL cover?

The ASRT SEAL specifically focuses on areas integral to the field of radiologic sciences, which includes radiography, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, sonography, and quality management. These disciplines are essential for professionals working in medical imaging and radiation therapy, as they encompass both the technical skills required and the understanding of patient care and safety measures.

Radiography involves taking images of the body to diagnose conditions, while radiation therapy is concerned with the treatment of diseases, particularly cancer, using radiation. Magnetic resonance imaging is a technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues. Sonography utilizes ultrasound technology to visualize internal organs, and quality management ensures the standards of practice are maintained for patient safety and effective care.

The other areas listed, such as cardiology, pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, are significant fields in healthcare but do not fall under the scope of the ASRT SEAL, which is dedicated specifically to those in the radiologic sciences.
