ARMRIT Parenteral Procedures
Hi Folks,

As an ARMRIT technologist; the small clinic I work for is concerned about allowing me to contrast patients as a non-ARRT person. In Washington State, it is my understanding that RT's are legally allowed to push contrast and is common practice.

I read that ARRT now accepts MR as a primary pathway to registration, but I am concerned if I am eligible. Any advice there on the side?

It dawned on me that this may be a problem other ARMRIT's. Any tips?

Thanks a bunch!

Your clinic should be concerned. Injecting gad contrast, or any contrast for that matter is illegal unless you are an RT registered through the ARRT. If anything happeded to the patient the clinic could be sued and lose their ability to practice. There is no pathway through the ARRT that supports ARMRIT. The Health Department regulates all credentialing for the injection of contrast media. Gretchen S RT(R)RRA MR ARRT

I thought I'd follow up on this a few years later. The illegal bit is nonsense. The ARMRIT is an ACR approved accrediting body. Many states I've encountered will honor the ARMRIT for a state license.

The law varies from state to state but in most cases, a venipuncture/phleb certification is fine. ACLS coursework goes a long way as well and will even set you ahead of most ARRT's.

You are injecting under the direction of an MD, regardless of your certification.
