Upon completion of the program, graduates of the UW Health University Hospital School of Radiologic Technology are eligible for certification in radiography through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), the national credentialing agency for the profession of medical imaging.

Each applicant’s eligibility is evaluated according to strict standards of educational preparedness, professional competency and high ethical standards of behavior as contained in the ARRT Rules of Ethics. Ethics violations can have a negative impact on an applicant’s eligibility to obtain certification in the radiologic sciences even though all educational and competency requirements have been met. Applicants to professional training in the radiologic sciences are advised of the following:

• Issues addressed by the ARRT Rules of Ethics include convictions of any and all crimes; including misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, felonies or alcohol and drug violations.
• All convictions must be reported to the ARRT and an ethics review will be conducted to determine if the individual is eligible for certification.
• Any conviction can negatively impact a candidate’s eligibility for certification, therefore all convictions (except parking and speeding violations) must be reported to the ARRT regardless of whether they occur before, during or after professional training has been completed.
• Offenses committed as a juvenile that were adjudicated through the juvenile court system are not required to be reported.
• The ARRT will conduct a pre-application review of any violation before or during an applicant’s education upon request by the applicant.
  • A pre-application review packet can be obtained from the ARRT website or by contacting the ARRT at (651) 687-0048, ext. 8580.

  • Angiography/interventional radiology: Uses x-ray and digital imaging methods to assess and treat conditions of the vascular, central nervous, biliary and musculoskeletal systems.
  • Cardiovascular technology: X-rays and digital imaging methods are used to produce images used in the evaluation of pathology associated with the heart and blood vessels, and perform interventional treatment of these conditions.
  • Nuclear medicine: Uses radioactive materials to assess pathologic processes, treat disease, and evaluate the physiologic function of the various organs and body systems.
  • Radiation oncology (radiation therapy): Uses the various forms of ionizing radiation in the treatment of disease processes.
  • Ultrasound: Produces images of the internal body structures through the use of sound waves.
  • PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems): PACS is the information technology branch of radiology responsible for storing, sharing and routing medical images.
• Most clinical rotations are scheduled Monday-Friday during the hours of 8 a.m-4 p.m. However, some clinical experiences occur on evenings and weekends. Clinical schedules are issued at the beginning of the fall semester for the entire academic year so that students are informed well ahead of time in any impending “off-hour” clinical experience.
• More information regarding academic and clinical hours, clinical education, elective rotations, holidays and vacations, core competencies, program policies and procedures, grievance process and orientation can be found in the Program Bulletin (pdf).
