Abstract 

The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) is the largest national, voluntary certification organization for radiologic technologists, with 235,000 registered technologists and an annual examination volume of 20,000 to 25,000. The ARRT’s board is appointed by the ACR (four members) and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (five members). The ARRT is in the process of developing a certification for radiologist assistants. Standards of education, ethics, and examination will be adopted to identify individuals qualified to assume this new role. The program is scheduled to be available in the fall of 2005.
