Answer 2

While I haven't checked every school I would think in the United States at least this would be completely unfeasible. To be registered as a radiologic technologist, you need to complete "objectives" or "competencies". These require under normal circumstances that you actually do an exam on a patient in a clinical setting. You almost must have a certain amount of clinical time, which you spend in a hospital or clinic of some type under the supervision of registered technologist. This is a major part in any program and wouldn't be feasible in an "online" format. I wish I could give you more information but it varies greatly depending on the state you live in. You could get alot of useful information at
www.asrt.org
and
www.arrt.org
arrt in particular has provided alot of information in my experience. There is also a phone number to call where an operator can help.
