Bone Densitometry
- Please contact us at mtmieducation@mtmi.net for questions concerning bone densitometry. Please include your phone number in case she needs more clarification to help answer your question(s).
- Some states require a permit or license for any person performing bone densitometry, some states require only fully licensed radiologic technologists perform bone densitometry, and others have no rules for persons performing bone densitometry. It is crucial to find out the rules for your state. You should do so by contacting your state’s licensing agency to avoid breaking any state regulations. ARRT has links to the state licensing agencies at https://www.asrt.org/main/standards-and-regulations/legislation-regulations-and-advocacy/individual-state-licensure.
- MTMI has two courses that provide syllabi to help you study for the BD examination; Bone Densitometry Training Course, and Bone Densitometry Registry Review. Both are offered multiple times per year and are designed around the content specifications of the examinations. The syllabus for each course is an excellent review for studying for the ARRT (BD) or ISCD (CBDT) examination.
MTMI does not endorse any other books or guides for studying for the examination.
- The information to perform bone densitometry is the same no matter which examination you choose to take, so the examination content specifications are similar.
- The two credentials require different time frames for CE due dates, different CE requirements, and different number of years between renewals. The information can be found at ISCD.org or ARRT.org.
- Current ARRT registered technologists with a primary discipline in Radiography, Nuclear Medicine Technology (or NMTCB registered), or Radiation Therapy are eligible to take the ISCD examination
- And meet the structured education requirements of 16 hours (RCEEM approved or ARRT recognized state licensing agency, or ARRT recognized agency) of bone densitometry training in the 24 months prior to your application date
- Meet the bone densitometry clinical experience requirements in the 24 months prior to your application date. These can be found at https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com/406ac8c6-58e8-00b3-e3c1-0c312965deb2/3c3f2a4a-a473-49fe-846e-35983945af60/Bone%20Densitometry%20(BD)%20Clinical%20Experience%20Requirements.pdf
- Must meet ethics requirements of ARRT
- Current CBDT,CDT or ARRT(BD) in good standing
- Currently Certified by ARRT
- Or hold an Allied Health Degree & performed 100 central DXA scans, and have 3 months experience performing bone density scans, and attested by supervisor
- Or document a minimum of 12 credit hours in bone density, osteoporosis, metabolic bone disease and performed at least 100 DXA scans at two skeletal sites and have a minimum of 3 months experience performing bone density scans, and attested by supervisor
- See all Requirements and guidelines for ISCD CBDT examination at https://iscd.app.box.com/s/m0f2lynf4rm5lcnzh2i1lcjev5lcxaic
Mammography
Yes and No. You will be able to perform mammograms on a 2D machine independently as you completed 8 hours of training specific to Full Field Digital Mammography as part of your initial training. However, performing 25 supervised mammograms on 3D machine will not give you your 8 hours of new modality training in 3D. You will need to take an 8 hour course in 3D or obtain 8 hours of documented training in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis at your workplace.
No, performing 25 supervised mammograms will count as 12.5 hours of initial training toward your mandated 40 hours of Mammography Initial Training. However, performing 25 supervised mammograms will not give you your 8 hours of new modality training in the modality you performed your supervised mammograms on. You will still need to take an 8 hour course specific to that modality or obtain documented 8 hours of training in that modality in the workplace.
The number for the ARRT is 651-687-0048 Mammography dept. extension is 8570
If you were once initially trained under MQSA and either left the field, or lost your legal status, you can regain your legal status by “Requalifying” under MQSA rules. You will need to bring your mammography credits up to 15 and perform 25 supervised mammograms under supervision of a legal, qualified mammography technologist. Then you will have 6 months to perform 200 mammograms.
No. Keep in mind, it is MQSA who requires you perform 25 supervised mammograms and have a 40 hour initial mammography training course before being allowed to perform mammograms independently, without supervision. The supervising mammography technologist does have to be a legally qualified mammography technologist under MQSA. (40 hour course, 25 supervised mammograms, in current legal status)
It is the ARRT who issues the “M” and that is not legally required under MQSA to have before performing mammograms independently, UNLESS that is a state requirement in your state. Usually, a requirement to have your “M” is a state, or facility requirement but is NOT required under MQSA for the supervising mammography technologist to have her “M”.
No. Under the Mammography Quality Standards Act, MQSA, your 40 hour Initial Training in Mammography Course does NOT expire. It is good for your entire career as part of your initial mammography training. However, if you go more than 2 years without performing 200 mammograms, or go more than 3 years without obtaining 15 credits in mammography ce’s, you will fall out of legal status as a mammography technologist under MQSA and need to “Requalify”. Requalification requires that you bring your mammography credits up to 15 and perform 25 supervised mammograms. At this point you are once again a legal mammography technologist and will have 6 months to obtain all 200 mammograms. These 200 mammograms will last for the 2 year period but under requalification, you have to obtain all 200 within the 1st 6 months after completing your 25 supervised mammograms. However, even under Requalification, you will NOT need to ever repeat the entire 40 hour course, unless you elect to.
Yes, the ARRT accepts the MTMI 40 hour Initial Training in Mammography Course as meeting the 16 hours of structured education required, as long as you apply for the ARRT mammography Registry Exam within 2 years of taking the course. If you pass the 2 year mark, you will need to complete an additional 16 structured hours. (If this happens to you, MTMI also offers a 16 hour Mammography Registry Review course that will count as the 16 structured hours needed).
Yes. The only requirement for sitting for the California State Mammography exam is that you are a fully licensed x-ray technologist and have completed a 40 hour mammography training course.
Yes. (Except if you are from California – read below) If you are from any other state than Caliornia, you can complete all of your Clinical Experience Requirements before attending the course as long as ALL 100 of your mammograms you perform are under direct supervision. You can NOT perform any unsupervised mammograms until you have both, your 25 supervised mammograms and the 40 hour course.
***If you are from California, you will not be able to perform any mammograms, even under supervision, until you have taken the California State Mammogaphy exam and passed it, UNLESS, you are in a radiology school program. Then you can complete all of your ARRT Mammography Clinical Experience requirements and perform all 100 mammograms, as long as all 100 are supervised.
Under the Mammography Quality Standards Act, MQSA, our 40 hour initial training in mammography course does NOT expire. It is good for your entire career as part of your initial mammography training. However, as of January 1, 2016 the ARRT requires 16 structured hours in mammography education within 2 years prior to applying to sit for the ARRT mammography registry exam. Our 40 hour course has the 16 structured hours within it. If you apply to take the mammography exam more than 2 years after the course, you cannot use our course as your needed 16 structured hours in mammography.
No, MQSA requires that you obtain 15 credits in mammography every three years. This mammography continuing education can be in analog or digital mammography. There is a one time only need for 8 hours of initial digital mammography training before performing mammography on a digital mammography machine. After the initial 8 hours is accomplished, the required 15 credits in mammography every 3 years can be in analog or digital.
Once you have legally become qualified to perform mammography under MQSA regulations, you need to obtain 15 credits in mammography every 3 years and have documentation of performing 200 mammograms every 2 years in order to keep your qualification.
The FDA Hotline number is 1-800-838-7715.
Under California State law in order to enter mammography after becoming a fully licensed mammography technologist, you need to follow the following steps, in the correct order:
- Take an approved 40 hour Initial Training in Mammography Course
- Apply for the California State Mammography Exam and pass it
- Perform 25 supervised mammograms
If you live in California, the only way you can perform your 25 supervised mammograms before taking, and passing, the California State Mammography exam is if you perform your 25 supervised mammograms outside of the state of Califronia. In this case, you can perform your supervised mammograms before sitting for the California state mammography exam.
If a California resident, you will still need to abide by MQSA and obtain 8 hours of didactic training in any “New Imaging Modality” – see next question.
You download the Mammography Certification Handbook through their website.
Yes, as long as you have met the standards defined by the MQSA to perform mammography (See answer to the question "How do I get started in mammography).
No you may sit for the ARRT mammography boards in the Pearson Vue Testing Center closest to you, even if it is located in a different state.
Click here:
https://home.pearsonvue.com/
A geographic list of the Pearson Vue Testing Centers is listed in Appendix C of the ARRT Mammography Certification Handbook.
Once you begin documenting the clinical experience requirements, all of the dates in your dashboard must be within 24 months of applying for the ARRT Mammography Certification Exam.
No, after completing our course you must perform the clinical experience requirements found in the most current ARRT Mammography Certification Handbook. These requirements include: performing a minimum of 100 mammograms, performing quality control procedures a certain number of times, observing or assisting in 4 out of list of 9 imaging modalities, sitting with a radiologist for a minimum of 10 screening or diagnostic mammograms and reviewing the most recent Medical Physicist survey.
https://www.arrt.org/docs/default-source/discipline-documents/mammography/mammography-clinical-experience-requirements-2017.pdf?sfvrsn=4
No, you may attend our course before receiving your R.T. and it will still count toward your initial training in mammography hours once you receive your R.T.
Under the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) you do not need an “M” to perform mammography independently. You need to be a licensed x-ray technologist who has obtained 40 hours of mammography continuing education and performed 25 mammograms in the presence of a qualified mammographer. (Again, the 25 supervised mammograms will count as 12.5 hours toward the 40 required leaving 27.5 hours of didactic needed). However, you should check with your particular state to find out if an “M” is required under your state law. Usually having your “M” is a facility, state or reimbursement issue and you will be more likely to obtain a job in mammography if you have taken the ARRT mammography boards and received your “M”.
Our course serves 2 purposes. First, it meets all the MQSA requirements of what needs to be included in an initial mammography training course, which is: Breast Anatomy, Breast Physiology,Breast Positioning, Compression, Quality Assurance/Quality Control, Imaging of patients with breast implants. Secondly, our course serves as an ARRT, and California, Mammography Registry Review course. We will cover all of the ARRT mammography content specifications listed on the ARRT website that can be asked about on the ARRT, and/or the state of California, mammography registry exams. The ARRT mammography registry exam and the State of California mammography exams are both ARRT exams and both tests pull from the same pool of questions. Below is the link to the ARRT Content Sepcifications for the mammography registry exam:
Through June 30, 2020: https://www.arrt.org/docs/default-source/discipline-documents/mammography/mammography-content-specifications.pdf?sfvrsn=8a6303fc_8
Effective July 1, 2020: https://www.arrt.org/docs/default-source/discipline-documents/mammography/mammography_content_specifications_2020.pdf?sfvrsn=911006fc_4
The ARRT rule originally stated you had to be an R.T. for at least one year before you could apply to take the ARRT mammography registry exam. That rule no longer exists. Currently, you may enter mammography directly from x-ray school. The current requirements mandate that you have met the standards defined by the MQSA to perform mammography (see answer to the question "how to do I get started in mammography") and that you perform the mammography clinical experience requirements listed in the ARRT mammography Certification Handbook.
https://www.arrt.org/docs/default-source/handbooks/postprimary-handbook.pdf?sfvrsn=28
Although it is recommended that the coursework and the 25 supervised mammograms be completed within a 2 year timeframe, under MQSA, there is no time limit to complete both the coursework and 25 supervised mammograms
You need to follow the law entitled Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) which was passed by Congress in 1992. First, you must be a registered radiologic technologist either through the ARRT, or have licensure to perform xray through your state, or you have been certified in general radiography by a certification body approved by the FDA. Second, you will need to complete and document 40 hours of training/education specific to mammography under the supervision of a qualified instructor(s). Third, you must perform a minimum of 25 mammographic examinations under the supervision of a quaified mammography technologist. Fourth, you must obtain 8 hours of training in any “New Mammographic Imaging Modality”
With the exception of the State of California, the 25 supervised mammograms can be completed before attending the 40 hour course. For California residents, see the next question and answer for further detail.
Certification Requirements
As a prerequisite for registration, medical radiologic technologists are required to complete continuing education. Current requirements for general medical radiologic technologists are summarized below. If you would like to review the current rule, these requirements are currently listed under the Texas Administrative Code, Title 22, Part 9, Chapter 194, Subchapter A, Rule 194.7(c), adopted to be effective April 3, 2017, located here.
General medical radiologic technologists need to complete a minimum 24 hours of continuing education (CE) every 24 months (24 month timeline goes by the biennial registration period, not the calendar year). No more than 12 hours shall be completed through independent self-study. A permit holder must report during registration if she or he has completed the required CE during the previous two years (biennial registration period).
At least 12 (of the 24) hours CE shall be attendance and participation in instructor-directed courses that are designated for Category A or A-plus credits of CE evaluated by an organization recognized by ARRT as a Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism (RCEEM) or RCEEM-plus during the biennial renewal period.
