Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Computed Tomography Certification Exam?

The Computed Tomography exam is a post-primary certification for radiologic technologists who want to specialize in Computed Tomography. Passing this exam grants you the registered CT technologist credential, which is the industry standard for practicing CT in the United States.

What are the main eligibility requirements?

To apply for the exam, you must meet four core requirements:

  • Primary Credential: Hold an active ARRT credential in Radiography, Nuclear Medicine, or Radiation Therapy.
  • Structured Education: Complete 16 hours of structured education covering Patient Care, Safety, Image Production, and Procedures within 24 months before applying.
  • Clinical Experience: Document competence in 125 verified CT procedures across different exam types.
  • Ethics: Adhere to the ARRT Standards of Ethics, which may require a review if you have past professional or legal issues.

What topics are covered on the exam?

The exam content is divided into four categories:

  • Patient Care: 22 questions
  • Safety: 22 questions
  • Image Production: 50 questions
  • Procedures: 71 questions

The exam contains a total of 185 questions (165 scored and 20 unscored pilot questions).

How long is the certification valid?

Your Computed Tomography certification must be renewed annually. You maintain it by paying fees and completing the required 24 hours of Continuing Education (CE) every two years.

Who administers the primary Computed Tomography certification exam?

In the United States, the primary exam is administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). The Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) also offers a CT certification for nuclear medicine technologists.

How do I apply and schedule the exam?

You apply through your online ARRT account. Once your application is approved, you will receive an authorization to schedule your exam at a Pearson VUE professional testing center.

What study materials are recommended?

Recommended study materials include the ARRT CT Exam Content Specifications, Computed Tomography physics textbooks, and Prephow practice tests and review courses.

What is the job outlook for Computed Tomography technologists?

The job outlook is strong. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects growth for radiologic technologists (which includes CT techs), driven by an aging population needing diagnostic imaging.

Can I specialize further after Computed Tomography certification?

Yes. Certified CT technologists can pursue additional training and certification in specialized areas like Cardiac Interventional Radiography (CI) or Vascular Interventional Radiography (VI).

What is the average salary for a certified CT technologist?

Salaries vary by location, experience, and facility. According to various salary surveys, the national average salary for CT technologists in the U.S. typically ranges from $70,000 to $90,000 annually.
