✍️ Sample ARRT Questions & Answers
1. The ARRT Standards of Ethics is incorporated into the CT certification process primarily to:
The Standards of Ethics screening ensures that only individuals with demonstrated professional integrity are certified.
2. A CT scan protocol using 'prospective ECG gating' for cardiac imaging acquires data only during which part of the cardiac cycle?
Prospective ECG gating triggers X-ray exposure only during a selected quiescent diastolic window, substantially reducing radiation dose compared to retrospective gating.
3. Which of the following is required as proof of identity when a candidate checks in for the ARRT CT examination?
Pearson VUE and ARRT require a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID with a matching signature at check-in.
4. On axial brain CT, the sylvian fissure (lateral sulcus) separates which lobes?
The sylvian (lateral) fissure separates the frontal and parietal lobes superiorly from the temporal lobe inferiorly.
5. ARRT's recertification policy allows CE credits earned through which type of structured journal activity?
Journal-based CE activities qualify only when they include a post-test and are offered through an ARRT-approved sponsor, not casual reading alone.
6. When comparing filtered back projection (FBP) to model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) at matched noise levels, MBIR typically demonstrates:
MBIR models the entire imaging chain including optics and statistics, achieving better resolution and artifact suppression at lower dose than FBP.
