National Radiologic Technology Week (NRTW) is held the week of November 5 to celebrate Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s discovery of the X-ray. It is commemorated every year to honor the essential work of RT’s around the country.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL RAD TECH WEEK National Radiologic Technology Week was established in 1979 by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. Historically, NRTW has not always been held in November. The first National Radiologic Technology Week was held from July 22 to 29, 1979, which was over 40 years ago. The date of the commemoration was later changed to the week of November 8, honoring the discovery of the X-ray by German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen on November 8, 1895.
Imaging operations and radiation therapy treatments are performed by radiologic technologists or RT’s. Radiologists read and interpret medical images, and they collaborate with them. MRI, X-ray imaging, mammography, CT scans, ultrasound, sonography, PET, and fluoroscopy are all examples of this.

Reason for Recognition? Triage was all wrapped up with patient calls and there was a patient walk-in. Without hesitation, Sarah came to assist the patient right away! The patient had very little wait time for an RN to assess them. Thank you, Sarah!! We appreciate your contribution to the team and your speedy patient care!

Reason for Recognition? Awesome teamwork on Monday 10/23/23 when you realized that your triage patient suddenly began to deteriorate. Your fast actions made a world of difference for this patient.
