• NOTICE RE: Tennessee X-Ray License

    These courses are not designed or approved for an x-ray license in Tennessee. Go to https://radiologyeducationseminars.com for courses that are approved for a Tennessee x-ray license. 

    Welcome to Radiology Education Online (REO)

    These courses are not designed or approved for an x-ray license in Tennessee. They are also not approved by any state for their certification or license requirements.

    Instead, they are designed to assist students who only need to take and pass the ARRT Limited Scope of Practice in Radiography Examination. Many states require limited x-ray machine operators to take and pass some or all of the modules of the Limited Scope Exam. Some states may also have additional requirements that need to be met before issuing a limited license in radiology.

    Some states may require an educational program, while others may require actual hands-on clinical practice or training. Most states have limited the regions of the human anatomy you can x-ray with a limited machine operator’s license. Check with your state agency that oversees x-ray rules and regulations for your particular state. Know what your requirements are before you start any radiology program. Rules vary from state to state, and some states may have no rules at all.

    REO Program Specifics

    Our program introduces you to the material listed in the exam content specifications for the limited scope examination. You have access to the courses that you are enrolled in 24/7. Each course consists of reading assignments, chapter quizzes, points to remember, flashcards, and review exams.

    Each course has an Exit Exam that you will need to pass in order to receive a certificate for the course. Think of this as your Final. The Exit Exam is timed, and you will have 1 minute per question. You need to achieve a score of 75% in order to pass the Exit Exam. You will have one more attempt to pass if you do not pass on your first try. Each course also has several Review Exams to help you PREP for the ARRT Limited Scope Examination.

    Please keep in mind that:
    1. To be successful at passing the ARRT Limited Scope of Practice Exam it takes a lot of time and effort on your part outside of the REO courses.
    2. You will need to continue to study consistently between the time that you pass our courses and the time that you take the Limited Scope Exam.
    3. Continue to use all the assessments, quizzes, flashcards, and review exams until you test. Treat these materials as practice for the board exam and remember to use your test-taking skills.
    4. Test as soon as you possibly can after completing the REO courses.

     State Required Exams

    States that have a requirement for individuals to pass an examination in order to become licensed, are usually contracted with the ARRT to write and administer the exams for them. Each state has the capability of setting its passing grade and also the modules that you are required to pass. The state agency that oversees these rules will have an application process, and many designate an examination processing center to handle those applications. All test results are sent directly to the agency that handles the application process.

    The ARRT Limited Exam

    Currently, ARRT issues licensing exams for many states. This Exam has several modules that you can test in, including a pre-requisite Core module that must be taken by all students. This Core module consists of 100 questions based on the foundations of radiography. This includes radiation protection, image production, image evaluation, patient care, equipment operation, and quality control procedures.

    The other modules that students may choose from include:

    • Chest
    • Extremities
    • Skull/Sinus
    • Spine

    The ARRT Exam is computerized and is given in testing centers around the United States. All approved candidates need to take the Core module and at least one of the body categories in order to obtain a limited license. There are detailed exam specifications that list all the items that a student can be tested over. These specifications, along with the ARRT exam handbook are available to all of our students.
