Choose an accredited program and apply. Cross your fingers and hope you get in.

Check with the ARRT (www.arrt.org), but my understanding is that there are no shortcuts if you've been out of the field that long. You'll have to get into an accredited program and attend the standard two years, pass the exams, etc.

And it's not surprising that they'll make you start over from scratch - frankly, imaging is so different than it was in the early '90's that your prior experience won't help you on the technical side of tings.
