ARRT® Post-Primary Certification

We do not recommend any CE course specifically for the purpose of ARRT® test prep, nor does the ARRT® endorse any specific material for the purpose of studying for any specific test. Purchase and/or completion of this package, or any other test preparation materials regardless of the author, does not guarantee the subsequent passing of the registry exam. The ARRT® has published the mammography content specifications, which gives a detailed outline of the covered topics and procedures, as guidance for the exam. Registrants are encouraged to consult this outline as well as a variety of sources to adequately prepare for the test. In addition to the MQSA requirements, the ARRT® has additional requirements to establish eligibility for the exam. Please see our Mammography Certification Information & Checklist. 

Course Description

Breast Anatomy and Pathology

Breast Anatomy and Pathology

Knowledge of breast anatomy is fundamental to a mammographer’s skill set and important in creating quality mammographic projections. Written as an introductory course to breast anatomy and mammography, this course provides the radiographer with a review of both male and female breast anatomy; basic mammographic concepts such as patient communication, compression, localization of breast lesions, and reporting terminology; and a review of benign, malignant, and high risk breast conditions and pathologic correlations. This course is directly applicable towards the initial 40 total hours of training in mammography required by the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) and covers breast anatomy and physiology.

This course is based on a printed and bound reference created by Rachel Gruber, B.S. This course has a corresponding posttest containing 64 multiple choice and true/false questions.

Introduction to Digital Mammography, 2nd Edition

Introduction to Digital Mammography, 2nd Edition

Digitization in medicine brought about massive changes in efficiency, workflow, and image quality. Perhaps these changes are no more evident and important than in mammography. Digital mammography, now the gold standard in breast cancer screening and detection, offers many advantages compared to screen-film mammography, including the ability to manipulate images, improved and more efficient workflow, and less time required to complete an examination. This course examines the development and features of digital mammography as a screening modality. It also discusses digital mammography equipment, the characteristics of a digital image, image artifacts, networking in digital mammography, digital mammography quality control procedures, and critical studies in the development and advancement of digital mammography.

This course is based on a printed and bound reference created by Jeana Fleitz M.Ed., RT(R)(M).  This course has a corresponding posttest containing 72 multiple choice and true/false questions.

Breast Implants and Quality Assurance in Mammography

Breast Implants and Quality Assurance in Mammography

This course provides an overview of the regulatory history and types of breast implants approved for use in the United States, surgical procedures used for implantation, and common complications and adverse effects related to breast implants as well quality control principles, another important aspect of breast imaging and a critical step in ensuring quality images and patient care. This course addresses specifically two topics, breast implants and quality assurance/control, mandated by the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) for initial training in mammography.

This course is based on a printed and bound reference created by Jeana Fleitz, M.Ed., RT(R)(M). This course has a corresponding posttest containing 68 multiple choice and true/false questions.

This course outlines essential principles such as localization and positioning, challenges in stereotactic biopsies, and quality assurance and quality control.

This course is based on a printed and bound reference by Jeana Fleitz, M.Ed., RT(R)(M). This course has an accompanying posttest with 28 multiple choice and true/false questions.
