FUN FACTS

“Although the New York State Society (as such) did not affiliate with the ASXT until 1947 probably due to the fact that it is such a large state with such diverse local interests, there were many regional societies that were officially recognized as affiliates by the ASXT. They included the Utica Society of Roentgen-Ray Technicians, the Eastern Society of Radiographers, the Western New York Society of Radiographers, the Southern Tier Society of Radiographers, the Niagara Frontier Society of Radiologic Technologists, the Syracuse Society of X-Ray Technicians, the Rochester Society of X-ray Technicians, the Catholic Sisters Society of X-ray Technicians, and the X-Ray Technological Association of New York City”.
