Certificate in Breast Imaging Program

The practice of Mammography has become a specialized field of diagnostic imaging. The precision required for positioning, knowledge and operation of imaging equipment, identification of pathology, image assessment, quality control and communication and interaction with the patient greatly exceeds the entry-to-practice requirements of a graduate medical radiation technologist. Imaging modalities for breast imaging have significantly changed over the years and the practice of mammography has a major impact on breast health.

CT Imaging Certificate Program

Computed Tomography is a common imaging modality in the field of medical imaging. With the onset of fusion imaging, CT is now crossing all disciplines. The CAMRT is pleased to offer a CT Imaging Specialty Certificate in the disciplines of Radiological Technology, Radiation Therapy and Nuclear Medicine. All technologists and therapists practicing in dedicated CT, CT SIM, PET/CT or SPECT/CT will find this program informative, educational and practical. It will enhance your knowledge and skill, enabling you to provide ‘best practice’ care in the delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic healthcare services.

Dosimetry Specialty Certificate Program

Radiation therapy is rapidly evolving to keep pace with changes in technology. For some years, treatment planning has been recognized as a specialty area within radiation therapy. No credential has been available in Canada and In recognition of this, the CAMRT is now offering a Dosimetry Specialty Certificate program. With didactic courses, demonstrated competencies, research skills and required continued education component, the candidate will attain the skills, knowledge and judgment necessary to become a valued member for the health care professional team.
