The CAMRT Magnetic Resonance certification exam is the entry-to-practice credential for MRI technologists in Canada. It has 185 single-best-answer multiple-choice questions and a four-hour, computer-based format delivered through Yardstick, offered three times a year. Content follows the May 2024 MR blueprint: the MR Clinical Expert role carries 70-85% of questions, with performing diagnostic procedures alone at 35-40%, plus MR safety, image quality, contrast administration and system management; Care Provider is 10-20% and Professional 5-10%. High-frequency body regions are head/neuro, musculoskeletal and spine. The 2026 fee is CAD $980 (plus Yardstick and taxes), candidates may write up to four times in five years, and the pass mark is a panel-set criterion standard rather than a fixed percentage. This 100-question bank gives original, blueprint-weighted practice across MR physics, safety, sequences, contrast, anatomy and patient care.

1In the four-zone MRI safety model, which zone is the magnet room itself, where the static magnetic field is always present?
2An MR labeling term indicates a device that is safe in the MR environment only under specific stated conditions, such as a maximum static field strength and SAR limit. Which label is this?
3A sudden loss of superconductivity that causes the cryogen to boil off rapidly and the magnetic field to collapse is called a:
4The biological effect most directly limited by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is:
5Rapidly switching gradient magnetic fields (high dB/dt) can cause which patient sensation or hazard?
6To prevent RF burns when a patient must be scanned, the technologist should:
7A patient reports a history of a cardiac pacemaker but cannot provide the make or model or any MR Conditional documentation. The most appropriate action is to:
8Which item, if brought into Zone IV, presents the greatest projectile (missile-effect) hazard?

About the CAMRT MRI Exam Exam
The CAMRT National Certification Examination in Magnetic Resonance is the entry-to-practice credentialing exam for magnetic resonance imaging technologists in Canada. It is a 185-question, single-best-answer, computer-based examination written over four hours, offered three times a year through Yardstick test centres. The exam is built from the 2020 National Competency Profile for Entry-Level MRTs and the May 2024 MR examination blueprint, which organizes content around the MRT professional roles and the MR Clinical Expert competencies (MR.1 through MR.8). The largest share of questions tests performing diagnostic procedures, with substantial weight on MR safety, image and data quality, contrast administration, system management and patient care. Secondary weightings emphasize head/neuro, musculoskeletal and spine imaging as high-frequency body regions.
Assessment
185 single-best-answer multiple-choice questions structured around the MRT professional roles and the MR Clinical Expert competencies (MR.1-MR.8). At least 80% of items assess application or critical thinking; at most 20% are knowledge recall.
Time Limit
Four (4) hours of computer-based testing for all 185 questions.
Passing Score
Criterion-referenced standard set by an expert panel; results are reported as pass or fail against a scaled standard rather than a fixed raw percentage. Candidates may write a maximum of four times within five years.
Exam Fee
CAD $980 examination fee (subject to change), plus Yardstick remote or in-person seat/proctoring fees and applicable taxes. (Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT), delivered through Yardstick)
CAMRT MRI Exam Exam Content Outline
Perform diagnostic procedures, contrast and image quality (MR.6-MR.8)
Largest blueprint cluster. Covers MR physics fundamentals (T1, T2, proton density, TR, TE, TI), pulse sequences (spin echo, fast/turbo spin echo, gradient echo, inversion recovery, EPI), k-space and parameter trade-offs, sequence selection and protocols by region (neuro, spine, MSK, abdomen, MRA), fat suppression, image quality optimization and artifact correction, and administration of gadolinium-based contrast including dosing, screening and NSF risk.
MR safety and system management (MR.1-MR.5)
Covers the four-zone access model, ferromagnetic and projectile hazards, implant and device screening (MR Conditional/Unsafe), patient and staff screening, cryogen and quench safety, acoustic noise and hearing protection, SAR and RF heating, gradient-related effects, and operating and maintaining MR imaging systems within clinical principles.
Care Provider
Covers patient assessment and monitoring, positioning and comfort, claustrophobia management, infection prevention, IV access and contrast-reaction recognition and response, vulnerable-patient and pregnancy considerations, and managing the patient safely through the MR examination.
Professional, Communicator and Collaborator
Covers legal and regulatory requirements, ethics, informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, accurate documentation, clear communication with patients and the interprofessional team, and practising within scope and professional limits.

What is the passing score for the CAMRT MR exam?
CAMRT uses a criterion-referenced passing standard set by an expert panel, reported on a scaled basis. There is no fixed raw percentage; results are reported as pass or fail against that standard.
How is the CAMRT MR exam weighted?
The MR Clinical Expert role is 70-85% of questions, with performing diagnostic procedures alone at 35-40%. Care Provider is 10-20% and Professional 5-10%, with safety, image quality and contrast administration also weighted within the Clinical Expert role.
Which body regions appear most often on the CAMRT MR exam?
The blueprint's secondary weightings rank head, musculoskeletal and spine as high frequency; abdomen, general and pelvis as medium; and chest/mediastinum and neck as low frequency.
How much does the CAMRT MR exam cost and how often can I write it?
The examination fee is CAD $980 (subject to change) plus Yardstick seat and proctoring fees and taxes. Candidates may write a maximum of four times within a five-year period.
Are these official CAMRT practice questions?
No. These are original OpenExamPrep questions modelled on the published CAMRT MR blueprint competencies. CAMRT provides its own exam blueprint, preparation guides and competency profile separately on camrt.ca.
