The NHSRT was founded in 1956 by a small, dedicated group of technologists who recognized that ‘x-ray’ was a growing medical specialty. They recognized the individuals involved needed to be properly trained, organized, and informed. With the assistance of the relatively new NH Roentgen Ray Society, the NHSRT was organized and incorporated.
New Hampshire Society of Radiologic Technologists exists to promote the profession of radiologic technologists, enhance quality patient care, participate in providing ongoing education accreditation and help to improve the welfare and socioeconomics of radiologic technologists.
We are an instrument for our professionals to share ideas and interests, and to provide an opportunity for networking with colleagues. As the primary voice of Medical Imagers in the State of New Hampshire, the Society is committed to the advancement of education and professional status of credentialed Technologists.
The NHSRT is also committed to the education of the public relative to radiation protection and safety, especially in the dissemination of information regarding the education and training of Medical Imagers and Radiation Therapists. We are proud to be radiologic professionals. Through the efforts of our members, our voices are heard, and our Society will continue to grow in numbers and influence.
