## Two Certification Pathways Explained
1. **ARMRIT** (American Registry of MRI Technologists): Standalone MRI certification. No prior X-ray/radiology credentials needed. This is the path for career changers and direct MRI entry.
2. **ARRT MRI** (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists): Post-primary credential. Requires existing ARRT certification (usually in radiography/X-ray) first. This is the path for existing rad techs adding MRI.

Both credentials qualify you to work as an MRI technologist. Tesla MR Institute's program prepares students for the ARMRIT exam.
