The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP) has approved the direct transfer of AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ to MPCEC on a credit-for-credit basis for medical physicists.

CAMPEP MPCEC (Medical Physics Continuing Education Credit) for on-demand content is only available up to six weeks post meeting (Jan. 15, 2026).

47 sessions within the RSNA 2025 program have been approved by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, an ARRT®-approved Recognized Continuing Education Evaluation Mechanism Plus (RCEEM+), for appropriate ARRT Category A+ credit.

Not all in-person sessions are eligible for ARRT credit. Apply the ARRT credit filter in the session catalog on Meeting Central or the meeting app to determine if a course is eligible for ARRT credit.

Note: Virtual sessions are not eligible for ARRT credit.

In order to record and obtain Category A+ continuing education (CE) credits, all ARRT-registered radiologic technologists and radiologist assistants must follow ARRT guidelines. Failure to do so will result in no credits being awarded.

ARRT requires that all registrants seeking Category A+ credit must be present and attentive for 50 minutes of every scheduled hour of a live CE activity. If you arrive late, leave early or slip out of the meeting room for a break, that time is deducted from your attendance.

ARRT registrants will be required to scan their badge in and out of each educational session. Registrants will not receive ARRT credit for the session if they do not scan their badge in and out of the session.

Sessions will be automatically added to their attendee record within 24 hours of the event.

Partial credit is not available to ARRT attendees.

In mid-December, RSNA will email certificates to ARRT-registered radiologic technologists and radiologist assistants who requested a certificate during registration and followed these ARRT guidelines.

Access the Evaluation & Credit Site in Meeting Central or in the meeting app to search, select and evaluate your own sessions and to adjust the time spent in each session.

The “Add a Session” feature is available on the Evaluation & Credit Site. We understand that not everyone who attends a session in person is able to have their badge scanned to record their attendance. Due to that fact, participants can access the Evaluation & Credit Site and add the sessions they were unable to scan into simply by searching for and adding that session. However, this feature is only available for up to eight weeks after the on-site meeting ends (Jan. 30, 2026).

To add a session after Jan. 30, 2026, you must select a session and play the video recording; that will trigger the system to automatically add the session to your credit record.

Transcripts may only be adjusted until Feb. 27, 2026, 12 p.m. CT, when Virtual Access ends. You will maintain access to the credit site until April 30, 2027, in order to print your certificate and/or record of attendance.
