    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
     MRI Registry Review
     Clinical Series in MRI
    Schools in Illinois
     Rush University
     Wright College
     Citi College of Allied Health
     Northwestern University
    Career Paths for MRI Techs
     Can work at many different places including:

     Hospitals

     Outpatient clinics
    Professional Organizations
     ARRT - American Registry of Radiologic
    Technologists www.arrt.org
     ASRT – American Society of Radiologic Technologists
