Poster Gallery

Each year, National Radiologic Technology Week^® is celebrated with a poster chosen to represent that year’s NRTW^® theme. State affiliates used to submit NRTW^® poster art to the ASRT annual conference as part of a contest until 1988 when professional artists began to design the posters.
