Brandon A. Smith, MBA, MSRS, RT(R)(VI), CIIP

Brandon is using national association leadership to raise the visibility and voice of medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals.

The first person elected to serve as ASRT president twice, a distinction cited by ASRT CEO Melissa Pergola and two other letter writers, Brandon spearheaded the BeRAD Professionalism Award, a national framework recognizing healthcare organizations whose imaging and radiation therapy departments foster professionalism, collaboration and professional development. The Invisible Heroes 5K, introduced during his first presidency, brought public attention to the role imaging and radiation therapy professionals play on the care team.

Brandon’s service extends to the state level. He is a past president of the Texas Society of Radiologic Technologists, where he was involved in legislative efforts to establish radiologist assistant licensure in Texas, and he received the 2023 North Texas Radiologic Technologist Society Living Legend Award. Within ASRT, he has chaired a practice standards subcommittee and served as a Texas delegate.

A registered technologist in radiography and vascular-interventional radiography and a certified imaging informatics professional, Brandon spent seven years as a senior clinical analyst for GE HealthCare enterprise imaging, leading implementations and training clinicians nationwide. He previously worked as a special procedures technologist and taught at San Jacinto College and MD Anderson Cancer Center. Colleagues describe him as someone who listens, mentors emerging leaders and uses his platform to amplify others.
