ARMRIT - American Registry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists

The American Registry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists (ARMRIT) certification is a professional credential for technologists specializing in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This certification is recognized in the MRI field and demonstrates a technologist’s knowledge, competence, and commitment to providing high-quality MRI services. The ARMRIT certification is often required or preferred by employers in various healthcare settings.

The ARMRIT certification process involves passing an examination that assesses a candidate's knowledge and skills in MRI technology.

Exam Length: 4 hours

Question Format: 225 multiple-choice questions covering MRI physics, safety procedures, patient care, and cross-sectional anatomy

Passing Criteria: 70%, based on a scaled score determined by ARMRIT

Exam Registration and Testing

Candidates must:

1. Meet the eligibility criteria set by ARMRIT, which includes specific educational and clinical experience requirements.

2. Register for the exam through the ARMRIT website and pay the examination fee.

3. Schedule the exam at an authorized testing center.

4. Follow the rules and regulations on the exam day, including presenting valid identification.

5. Complete the exam within the allotted time.

6. Receive results, typically available several weeks after the exam.

1. Education and Experience: Complete an MRI technologist program and acquire relevant clinical experience.

2. Application: Submit an application to ARMRIT, including proof of education and experience.

3. Examination: Successfully pass the ARMRIT certification exam.

4. Certification Issuance: Obtain certification upon meeting all requirements and passing the exam.

ARMRIT certification requires renewal every three years, which involves:

1. Completing continuing education credits in MRI technology or related areas.

2. Submitting a renewal application and fee to ARMRIT.

3. Compliance with any additional requirements set by ARMRIT.

Maintaining ARMRIT certification necessitates ongoing education in MRI technology, patient safety, and emerging techniques in the field. This can include attending workshops, seminars, and completing relevant online courses or training.
