About the ARRT CT Exam

ARRT CT is a postprimary credential for technologists advancing into computed tomography practice. The exam blueprint covers patient care, radiation safety, CT image production, and procedure-specific protocol decisions. The four scored domains emphasize imaging procedures most heavily, followed by image production, while patient care and safety are weighted equally.
