You may have heard about Radiographers – medical professionals who do diagnostic imaging examinations, such as X-rays. They are in charge for correctly positioning patients when doing imaging examinations and also need to produce quality diagnostic image. They work with radiologists, who rely on medical images to diagnose or rule out injury or diseases. Hence, the imaging examinations must be done correctly and precisely by the radiographers for helping radiologists correctly interpret the images.

Persons who graduate in radiologic technology courses may specialize in particular imaging methods, such as cardiovascular-interventional radiography, mammography, bone densitometry, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, quality management, sonography or general diagnostic radiography and nuclear medicine. The ARRT is the organization for certified radiologic technologists that adopts and maintains specific norms for entry-level educational preparation into the profession of radiologic technologist.

Persons are presented with ARRT certification only if they have graduated on any ARRT accredited program and pass the exam. They will be certified as qualified professionals in medical imaging. A 24 hour CE (continuing education) has to be completed in every two years by each radiologic technologist in order to uphold their ARRT certification. If anyone fails in the exam, he/she may be allowed to attend subsequent examinations, however additional fees must be paid and wait for the next year to administrate ARRT the test. Persons can make 3 attempts to pass the exam or the entry level exam.

Radiologic technologists who did not pass exam on the first attempt should complete their second and third attempts within a 3-year period from the date on which he has attended the first exam. There are many sources online offering ARRT CE credits that are accepted and approved over all US states including California and Florida. Choose one of the best sources and go though the courses.
