ARRT requires certification examinations to be practice-related, so it periodically conducts a job analysis to ensure the certification examination content specifications and clinical requirements remain comprehensive, accurate, and fair. With the help of the professional community, ARRT reviews the certification documents every five years. The ARRT Board of Trustees recently approved changes to the following document, which will go into effect on September 1, 2026.
Overview of the Major Changes to the Clinical Experience Requirements
- The candidate must present each of the 200 mandatory breast sonography examinations to the radiologist for final interpretation.
- Under the elective procedures, for pre-op needle localization, “non-wire” replaced “seed”.
