The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology is dedicated to excellence in education and to quality and safety of patient care through the accreditation of educational programs. The American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science withdrew from sponsorship in 1994.
Current membership includes three representatives of each sponsor and two public members.
The ARRT is a national certification organization for the radiologic sciences. The Registry was founded in 1922 by the Radiological Society of North America with the support of the American Roentgen Ray Society and the American Society of X-Ray Technicians. The first certification examination in radiography was administered that same year. In 1962, the ARRT added a certification program in nuclear medicine technology. In 1964 a program in radiation therapy was added.
