• Section 1: Introduction Section 1: Introduction The PET technologist is a medical imaging technologist who has a high level of knowledge in positron emission tomography and is dedicated to producing high quality, diagnostically accurate results in a manner that is safe and effective for the patient. In addition to meeting all the eligibility requirements for nuclear medicine, radiography or radiation therapy, and passing the respective certification exam, the PET technologist has additional clinical experience and knowledge specific to the use of instrumentation, radiopharmaceuticals and adjunct medications related to positron emission tomography. The PET Exam is administered by the NMTCB as a specialty examination designed to allow the PET technologist the opportunity to demonstrate his or her expertise in the field of positron emission tomography and properly use the credentials "PET". While the PET specialty certification is a way for a technologist to show their advanced knowledge in PET, it is not to be considered a standalone NMT credential. Professional certification is a vital component of a successful career. Achieving board certification in PET technology requires the successful completion of the certification process to confirm your competence in the specialty. The certification process includes meeting the eligibility requirements and then successfully completing the certification examination. These instructions will familiarize you with the NMTCB's application and examination administration procedures. It is important that you understand and follow the procedures outlined in these instructions. Read them entirely and carefully before completing and submitting your application. You are responsible for knowing what is contained in these instructions. You will be more comfortable at the test site if you first familiarize yourself with the procedures and policies relating to the examination. Refer to these instructions for reference and contact the NMTCB office at the address at the bottom of this page if you have any questions. The NMTCB application and instructions are revised annually to reflect changes in policies and eligibility requirements. It is important that you complete and return the current application form. The NMTCB does not discriminate against any individual on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, physical impairment, marital status, or national origin. A total of 986 individuals are Active PET Certificants.

You may find courses to satisfy the 45 hour coursework requirement . *All clinical and didactic requirements must be completed within the 5 year period immediately prior to application to sit for the post-specialty PET examination. The NMTCB PET Examination is a time-limited credential that will last seven (7) years, and will expire thereafter. At the end of seven years, specialty certificants have the option to recertify through either (1) re-examination OR (2) by displaying 42 hours of specialty-specific continuing education obtained during the seven year period. (The equivalent of 6 hours per year of certification.) A completed application and payment are required for either recertification option a certificant selects. You may find the applications . Specialty certificants will be expected to submit all of the CEs related to their specific exam at the time of recertification, prior to their expiration date. Specialty CE credits obtained for recertification will be allowed to apply towards a certificant’s entry level (CNMT) certification requirements as well, if the certificant holds the NMTCB entry level credential. Specialty certification must be renewed annually AND the PET Certificant must consistently maintain their NMTCB (CNMT) certification, ARRT(N), CAMRT nuclear medicine credentials and/or CAMRT(RT), CAMRT(RTT), ARRT(R) or ARRT(T) as either as "Active", "in compliance" or "in good standing."

Most likely there will be a voice message on the testing center’s phone system to notify candidates of any change in business hours during the inclement weather. If you are unable to take your examination due to the inclement weather, you must contact IQT directly at 1-866-773-1114 or 1-727-733-1110 to reschedule your examination for a later date.

Reactivation of Application Eligible candidates may repeat the examination by reactivating their eligibility by submitting a reactivation application online along with the current processing fee. A candidate may take the exam a maximum of two times within a 12 calendar month period. For re-examination, the eligibility criteria must still be met (current NMTCB, ARRT, or CAMRT nuclear medicine technology certification OR a current active CAMRT(RT), CAMRT(RTT), ARRT(R) or ARRT(T) certification).

Applications are kept on file for three years from date of original application submission. After the three year expiration, candidates must meet current eligibility requirements at the time of new application. To reactivate an application you can visit the application page

Please refer to the candidate admission letter you received after scheduling your exam appointment regarding reschedule/cancellation policies.

Exam Results Preliminary test results will be available at the test site following the exam. Your final score will be mailed to you approximately three weeks after the examination. No examination results will be given over the telephone under any circumstances. The passing score is determined for each examination based on the following: Examination Content A review of examination performance on specific questions A review of statistical analysis of response data Using these methods, the Examination Committee is able to take into account the difficulty of each version of the examination (and the ability of each group examined) to provide consistency in the passing score among different forms of the examination. If you move after taking the examination, notify the NMTCB office promptly to ensure timely receipt of your results. Be sure to file a forwarding order with the post office. Rescoring Strict quality control procedures are performed to ensure the accuracy of the examination results reported. You may have your examination manually rescored for a fee. Any requests for rescoring must be made in writing within two (2) months of receipt of the original official score report and must include the rescoring fee of $50.00 (made payable to the NMTCB). Rescoring very seldom changes reported score results.
• Section 5: Privileges and Responsibilities Section 5: Privileges and Responsibilities Passing the NMTCB PET Examination entitles you to certain privileges and obligates you to fulfill certain responsibilities. These are summarized below: Privileges of Certification: CERTIFICATE: The most immediate benefit of certification is your certificate which will be mailed to you in approximately three (3) weeks after successful completion of the examination. CREDENTIALS: Upon certification, you will also be granted the right to use the credential "PET" after your name. ANNUAL CERTIFICATION CARD: A personalized pocket-size annual certification card will be mailed to you after you receive your examination results. Most certificants carry the card with them. The certification card is a convenient method to provide your employer, governmental agencies and others with documentation that you are certified and registered in PET. An updated certification card will be mailed to you annually upon payment of the annual registration fees. DIRECTORY LISTING: The names of all currently registered PET technologists are listed in the "NMTCB Directory of Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologists", on the NMTCB website. The directory is made available only to other NMTCB certificants. NMTCB NEWSLETTER: The NMTCB NEWS, published semi-annually, is provided to all certificants of nuclear medicine technology, CT, radiation safety, nuclear cardiology technology, PET, and NMAA. NMTCB NEWS covers topics of concern to certified technologists, trends in NMT education, developments in health care, nationwide salary comparisons, and other professional information. CE CREDITS: 24 SNMMI VOICE credits are awarded for passing the NCT Exam. If you are not a member of the SNMMI, contact them at 703-708-9000 or  to join. Successful completion of the NMTCB PET specialty exam will be recognized by the NMTCB as the equivalent of 24 hours of CE. The Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) accepts the successful completion of NMTCB specialty examinations as a Continuing Education waiver for nuclear medicine technologists. Responsibilities of Certification: ANNUAL REGISTRATION: Perhaps the greatest responsibility of certification is annual registration. Once you are certified by the NMTCB, you remain certified and certification cannot be revoked without due process. It is necessary for you to register your certification annually with the NMTCB. Your annual registration fee pays for the privileges you enjoy as an NMTCB Certificant. More importantly, your annual registration fee supports the certification process for nuclear medicine professionals, thereby enhancing the profession of nuclear medicine technology. Responsibilities of NMTCB PET certificants include maintaining an active primary certification/registration in nuclear medicine, radiography, or radiation therapy in order to complete the yearly renewal of your PET certification. You will be allowed to renew your PET certification only if you maintain active primary certification/registration.
