For technologist admission, you must possess the credentials of Registered Radiologic Technologist, RT(R) or be registry-eligible. You may pursue either the certificate or a limited number of courses. The completed application must be submitted no later than Feb 1st. Applications are accepted after February 1st on a space-available basis.

All 22 semester hours of MR course work count as upper division hours towards the Bachelor of Health Science (BHS) degree. See www.washburn.edu/sas/ah/ for more information.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE CERTIFICATION

The MR Certificate Program is designed to assist technologists or registry-eligible technologists in meeting the criteria for post-primary certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). According to ARRT guidelines candidates for magnetic resonance certification must hold a current registration in radiography, radiation therapy, sonography or nuclear medicine. Sonography registration may be through either the ARRT or ARDMS. Nuclear medicine registration may be held with either the ARRT or NMTCB. 

Current content specifications for the ARRT examination in magnetic resonance (implemented January 2006) are presented:

• Patient care – 30 questions
• Imaging procedures – 62 questions
• Data acquisition and processing – 65 questions
• Physical principles of image formation – 43 questions
• Total of 200 questions

In addition to current professional registration (discussed above), the ARRT also requires all candidates for certification to document satisfactory performance of a minimum number of repetitions of clinical procedures. The clinical performance must be completed within the 24-month period (or less) immediately before submitting the application for certification. See www.arrt.org for more specific information involving eligibility requirements.
