The medical imaging technologist shortage in New Jersey: its extent and magnitude.
The medical imaging and radiation therapy communities in New Jersey were surveyed to: (1) quantify the personnel shortage, (2) determine the percentage of licensed technologists not employed in the field of medical imaging and radiation therapy, and (3) identify the medical facility type(s) most affected by the personnel shortage. The data supports the claim that a shortage of technologists in all areas of medical imaging and radiation therapy exists. Activities being conducted to address the shortage are presented.
