Mastering Your MRI Skills with Pulse Radiology
This MRI Program delivers a comprehensive, 14-week curriculum aligned with the ARRT’s MRI Content Specifications, designed to build foundational knowledge and test mastery weekly. Beginning with an orientation, the course proceeds through core topics including patient care & MRI safety, MRI physics, instrumentation, pulse sequence design, and imaging parameters. Each week concludes with a test; there is also a 100-question midterm and a 220-question mock registry exam to simulate actual ARRT testing.
As students progress, the curriculum delves into data manipulation, special procedures, and advanced anatomy. The program culminates with focused registry preparation, submission instructions, and clinical training guidance.
Practical application is reinforced through clinical training at over 1,300 affiliate sites nationwide, with students supported by a clinical coordinator for scheduling, documentation, and supervision. With 25.5 ASRT Category A credits built in, the curriculum offers structured education without the constraints of fixed class times — accessible 24/7 across devices, and paced to fit the schedule of working technologists.
