MRI Technologist Training Guide

MRI requires formal education and certification to become a technologist. Technologists must complete an accredited program and pass a registry exam. They also need state licensure in most cases and ongoing continuing education. MRI programs typically take 9 months to a year and cover topics like sectional anatomy, physics, procedures, and pathology. Technologists work primarily in hospitals and clinics and can join professional organizations like ARRT, ASRT, ACR and ARMRIT. The future of the field remains strong as MRI technology advances.

How MRI works
Training Required
 Must successfully complete a formal educational
program in magnetic resonance imaging
accredited by a mechanism acceptable to the
ARRT

 Registry exam necessary for all prospective MR


Technologists

 Must successfully complete the ARRT Magnetic


Resonance Imaging Didactic and Clinical
Competency Requirements as part of that program
Accrediting Organizations
 ARRT

 ARMRIT

 ACR

 CAMRT
Licenses / Certification
 Most states do not require an MRI license but
do require a certificate, and also some states
require that you hold a state license in a
primary discipline such as Radiography.
 Need to complete 24 hours of CE every 2 years
 CE is relevant to imaging and the radiologic
sciences, patient care
 CE includes credits pertinent to the
technologist’s accredited clinical practice
Liscenses / Certification cont’d
 MRI certificates generally take nine months to a year,
depending on the school you are attending. The following
is a typical set of courses you could expect to take during
the MRI program:
 Sectional Anatomy
 Introduction to Magnetic Resonance Imaging
 Physics & Instrumentation in MRI
 MRI Imaging Procedures
 MRI Pathology & Case Studies
 Advanced Procedures & Technology in MRI
