In my previous life as an RT, Technologist was define as specialist technician was an aid or some one who needed supervision to perform their functions. I am proud to be a technologist or a sonographer, but I'm with Kerrie I don't think sonographer means more to anyone else

I am proud to be called a technologist. I never felt as though a "sonographer" had any more clout than a "technologist". I think the tech abbreviation leads people to think technician. So when asked what I do, outside of talk with my fellow techs, I always say vascular technologist :-)
Besides isn't it what you know that is important rather than how people may perceive you based on a title?
I always thought it was just different titles for different areas of work. Sorta like echo, sonogram, ultrasound...ect. mean the same basic thing. Maybe I'm just naive.

If you go to a good school and received a Bachelors then went on to pass the registry why are you "just a tech"?? last time I looked RVTs image bodily organs. Thats why people have different creditials to make sure people are given proper credit for what they accomplish.
