Answer: Violation of the ARRT Standards of Ethics
ARRT can revoke or suspend certification for violations of its Standards of Ethics, which govern professional and personal conduct.
What is the role of the ARRT Standards of Ethics in the recertification process?

The ARRT Standards of Ethics outline the professional and personal conduct required for technologists to maintain good standing and certification.
A CT technologist completes a 3-credit online module from an ARRT-approved sponsor. How should this be recorded?
Answer: As 3 Category A CE credits
Online modules from ARRT-approved sponsors qualify as Category A CE credits and count toward the 24-credit renewal requirement.
What happens to a technologist's post-primary CT certification if their primary ARRT registration lapses?
Answer: The CT certification also lapses because it depends on primary registration status
Post-primary certifications such as CT are dependent on an active primary ARRT registration; if the primary lapses, so does the post-primary certification.

A CT technologist is selected for a random ARRT CE audit. How far back must they be able to document their CE activities?

ARRT audit documentation requirements focus on the current renewal cycle, so technologists must retain records for the most recent 2-year period.
Which of the following CE topics would be MOST directly relevant to CT recertification requirements?
Answer: Advances in CT radiation dose reduction techniques
CE focused on CT-specific topics like dose reduction directly supports the knowledge base required for CT certification maintenance.
