Answer: (A)

This question tests the historical origin of ARRT and which organizations created it. In 1922, the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists was established through a collaboration between the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS). Their partnership formed a national registry to standardize credentialing for radiologic technologists and to administer examinations that certified competency, reflecting the profession’s move toward formal standards and recognition. The other organizations listed either were not the founders of ARRT or were not involved in creating this credentialing registry in 1922.
