Subject research was conducted to determine if certified radiographic technologists (CRTs) would be adaptable to learning new modalities within the radiographic field. A questionnaire was completed by a total of 248 CRTs where 70.6% were females and 29.4% were male. The questionnaire probed various stages of acceptance to learning new modalities via cross-training. Results support CRTs, adaptability to learning new modalities via cross-training. Findings indicated that the question "Did you enjoy learning new modalities?" had statistical significance and CRTs with 0-7 years of experience showed significance over those with 16 plus years of experience.
