  1. How often must an ARRT CT certification be renewed?

    Answer: Every 2 years

    ARRT CT certification, like most ARRT credentials, requires regular renewal to ensure technologists maintain current knowledge and skills. Certified professionals must renew their certification every two years. This biennial renewal process typically involves meeting continuing education requirements.

  2. How many continuing education (CE) credits are required for recertification in ARRT CT?

    Answer: 24 CE credits

    To maintain ARRT CT certification, technologists must complete a specific number of continuing education (CE) credits within each two-year renewal period. The requirement is 24 CE credits, which helps ensure that certified professionals stay updated with advancements and best practices in the field of computed tomography.

  3. What is the Continuing Qualifications Requirements (CQR) process for ARRT CT certification?

    Answer: A self-assessment and continuing education program every 10 years

    The Continuing Qualifications Requirements (CQR) is a distinct process from the biennial CE requirements. For ARRT CT certification, CQR involves a self-assessment and targeted continuing education program that must be completed every 10 years. This ensures long-term competency and addresses any identified knowledge gaps.

  4. Which of the following activities can count toward the continuing education credits for ARRT CT certification?

    Answer: All of the above

    ARRT accepts a wide range of activities for continuing education (CE) credits, provided they are relevant to the radiologic sciences. This includes attending industry conferences, participating in patient care workshops, and even publishing research articles in professional journals. The goal is to encourage diverse learning that enhances professional practice.

  5. What happens if an ARRT CT-certified technologist fails to meet the recertification requirements?

    Answer: Their certification status becomes inactive, and they cannot work as a CT technologist

    Failure to meet ARRT CT recertification requirements, such as completing the necessary continuing education, results in the certification becoming inactive. An inactive certification means the individual is no longer recognized as an ARRT-certified CT technologist and cannot legally or professionally practice under that credential.
