Upon graduation, you will be eligible to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) exam and become a registered technologist in radiography R.T. (R).

Radiologic technology involves using X-rays or radioactive substances for medical diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Radiologic technologists, or radiographers, specialize in using X-rays to create images of the body. They perform diagnostic procedures, including imaging the skeletal system, chest, and abdomen, and assist with more specialized procedures like myelography and arthrography.

The Emory School of Medicine Radiologic Technology Program (ESOM RT Certificate Program) offers a 24-month, full-time certification program. The program is located at Emory Decatur Hospital, which operates as an off-campus instructional site for Emory School of Medicine. The schedule is Monday through Friday, 40 hours per week, with occasional evening clinical rotations (about two to three evenings per month). Graduates are eligible to take the ARRT exam and, upon passing, become registered technologists in radiography, R.T. (R).

Our program provides students with the latest knowledge, skills, and equipment, and our graduates are highly regarded as essential members of the healthcare team.
