ALBUQUERQUE – The number of students enrolled in radiologic science educational programs decreased in 2008 according to the American Society of Radiologic Technologist's 2008 Enrollment Snapshot of Radiography, Radiation Therapy and Nuclear Medicine Programs.
Survey results show that first-year enrollments for fall 2008 were at 17,050 for radiography students, 1,314 for radiation therapy students and 1,660 for nuclear medicine students. These figures illustrate a decrease of 2.6 percent for radiography programs, 3 percent for radiation therapy programs and 9.7 percent for nuclear medicine programs when compared with the 2007 enrollment survey. However, the overall number of educational programs offering courses in each of these three disciplines increased.
Results from the survey came from directors of radiography, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine programs listed by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
