Terrence M. Speth
Founder and President
Radiological Service Training Institute (RSTI)
Solon, Ohio
The diagnostic imaging service industry lost one of its greatest visionary leaders on December 29, 2008 with the passing of Terrence Speth, Founder and President of Radiological Service Training Institute (RSTI).
In 1984 Terry Speth envisioned the need for independent, multivendor service training in an industry that was dominated by the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). From its humble beginnings in Solon, Ohio, Terry created the first hands-on diagnostic imaging training center. His electronics training in the US Navy and his tenure managing training and development for Picker X-ray gave him a unique combination of skills which made RSTI an immediate and long term success.
