My name is Kent Pritchard, and I am a 28-year-old radiologic technologist. I graduated with an Associate's degree in Applied Science in Radiologic Technology from Piedmont Technical College. I currently work at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System in the Cardiac Cath Lab, as well as the Electrophysiology department, with 4.5 years of experience for a total of 6.5 years of clinical experience. I enjoy challenging cases that require me to think outside the box, and push the boundaries of what I know. In particular, I really enjoy DVTs and peripheral cases because many times there is no blood flow or vessel. Armed with knowledge and persistence, these tough cases often result in a night-and-day difference.
