In what year did ARRT begin education programs for other modalities?

• A. 1955
• B. 1965
• C. 1960
• D. 1970

Answer: (C)

Expanding education beyond radiography shows ARRT’s move to standardize training across multiple imaging disciplines. In 1960 ARRT began formal education programs for other modalities, reflecting the development of fields like nuclear medicine and radiation therapy and the need for consistent certification across them. This year marks the start of that expansion, whereas the other options would place the change either earlier or later than when ARRT actually began offering programs for additional modalities.
