RSTI has spent the past 25 years positioning itself as the leader in Diagnostic Imaging Systems Maintenance education. Unmatched hands-on training methods are supported by technically relevant classroom sessions. Every class brings together the best mix of theory, physics and hands-on time to present each student with the optimum opportunity to gain the skills needed to succeed. Our methods are proven by the combined experiences of our own field work and the experiences of our students. RSTI’s instructors actually get field work by doing in-depth image system evaluations, system installations and the occasional tech support visit. On one visit, we did an evaluation on a vascular room. The doctor was very unhappy with the image and wanted a new room if the image quality was not improved. The hospital administration felt that they may have to get the new lab but wanted someone else to confirm it. Through our evaluation process we identified several areas that needed attention. The company that was responsible for the maintenance contract was informed of the needed adjustments and the image quality was improved enough to meet the doctor’s expectations. With the money they saved, they sent their in-house service technician to several of our training courses and dropped their service contract. They are now in control of their own service outcomes. RSTI has always been and will continue to be committed to ensuring that our lab facilities are up-to-date and reflect the current technologies that you will encounter in the field.
We have equipment like the GE Precision 500D, Toshiba Aquilion, Philips Digital Diagnost, and GE XR/d just to name a few. RSTI’s training labs are designed to put as many of the systems you could see in a hospital environment all in one place. To get a more detailed look at our labs go to http://www.rstitraining.com/files/LabLayout.pdf . Add the fact that you will have the opportunity to work with the latest test equipment available in diagnostic imaging. This is what we call “The RSTI Experience.” It is the combination of instructors, support staff, curriculum and facility that ensure you will be provided with the best learning environment around. Join us for a class and see for yourself what the RSTI experience is.
