Mammography and Bone Densitometry Certificate
Curriculum
Course goals and objectives are based on the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Mammography (M) and Bone Densitometry (BD) post-primary certification exam content specifications. The program goal is to provide students with focused instruction to expand their technical knowledge in M & BD, with a supporting objective of preparing students for the ARRT post-primary certification exam in M and/or BD*.
* Clinical repetitions are required to apply for ARRT M and/or BD certification. The Mammography and Bone Densitometry Credit Certificate does NOT incorporate a clinical practicum. However, for those with experience in M and/or BD, the credit certificate fulfills all ARRT Structured Education requirements.
