The CT certificate will provide technologists with the opportunity to learn Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging Technology, to gain practical clinical skills and to be prepared academically to sit for the ARRT CT Registry Examination. CT Certificate completers will enhance their job opportunities and become eligible to work with hybrid imaging systems that include CT such as PET/CT or SPECT/CT. This certificate is appropriate for technologists wishing to enter the field of CT imaging who have no previous CT experience; it allows them to meet the new requirements for ARRT Certification. Technologists who have worked in CT without formal academic training can meet the new requirements for ARRT Certification.

ARRT Registered Technologists (if not currently employed in CT) must:• Complete all didactic courses.• Complete all clinical courses.• Document repetition of specified exams 125 times on the ARRT CT Competency List.• Meet all health and safety requirements for clinical rotations as required by the clinical affiliate site.• Show proof of ARRT certification in Radiologic Technology.

CT Technologists who completed on the job training (if currently employed in CT) must:• Complete all didactic courses.• Document repetition of specified exams 125 times on the ARRT CT Competency List.• Provide proof of current continuous employment in CT for 1 year. Employment must be within
