These online programs are in response to a new CMS accreditation requirement. Effective Jan. 1, 2012, all providers who bill for PET, MRI, CT and nuclear medicine under part B of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule must be accredited by the ACR, The Joint Commission or the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission in order to receive the technical component reimbursement from Medicare.
Facilities are urged to apply early to meet the January 1, 2012 deadline and avoid the accreditation rush that will likely occur closer to the deadline. Facilities that are not accredited by that date will receive no grace or probation period by CMS, and automatically rejected for reimbursement for services.
The requirements for a Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist to perform
PET/CT are as followed: S. 468.302(3)(g), FS, allows certified nuclear medicine
technologists to perform the following: . Conduct in vivo and in vitro
measurements of radioactivity and administer radiopharmaceuticals to
human beings for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes; and . Administer
X-radiation from a combination nuclear medicine-computed tomography
device if that radiation is administered as an integral part of a
nuclear medicine procedure that uses an automated computed tomography
protocol for the purposes of attenuation correction and anatomical
localization and the person has received device-specific training on the
combination device. Certified nuclear medicine technologists are
prohibited from performing: . Radioimmunoassay and other clinical
laboratory testing regulated pursuant to Chapter 483, F.S.; . Creating
or modifying automated computed tomography protocols; and . Any other
operation of a computed tomography device, especially for the purposes
of stand-alone diagnostic imaging, which must be performed by a general
radiographer certified under this part. Device specific training is
defined in rule 64E-3.033, FAC as a means of training supplied by or
taught by a PET-CT device manufacturer, or a course approved by the
department as continuing education for radiologic technologists. The
course must be at least 16 hours in duration and cover the following
subjects concerning PET and CT: . PET-CT theory and physics; . radiation
safety; . equipment operation; . image formation, reconstruction and
evaluation; and . quality control and assurance. A Nuclear Medicine
Technologist who has completed device-specific training shall maintain
proof of completion of training at their place of practice and provide
it to the department upon request. Such proof shall, at a minimum,
consist of a course completion certificate containing the following
information: date of course completion, the title of the course, the
technologist's full name, the name of the company providing the
training, and the instructor's full name. If a Nuclear Medicine
Technologist is certified in Computed Tomography by the American
Registry of Radiologic Technologists, the technologist has met the
requirement for device-specific training needed to perform the CT
portion of a PET-CT examination described under s. 468.302(3)(g), FS.
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologist's wallet card bearing
the technologist's name and the credential of the Computed Tomography
certification will be accepted as proof of completion. If an individual
is Florida-certified as both a Nuclear Medicine Technologist and a
General Radiographer, the person may perform PET/CT, full diagnostic CT,
and nuclear medicine examinations.

Dear Mr. Marshel you are Guru in the field Molecular Imaging, Your program is way ahead of the curve. When I was on my externship I knew I had the knowledge base that would set me apart from other Technologist. Not only was I learning from my externship but they were learning from me. The PET/CT Training Institute is a asset to the field. All the facilities that acquire your students will know that they have Technologist that are very sound in all aspects Imaging and Quality Control . You have been available around the clock, always making time to help students with there understanding of the complex aspects of PET/CT. I thank you for your Teaching and can say I am very proud to been one of your students.

Ich möchte die PET / CT Training Institute auf die Vorbereitung für mich eine neue Karriere in PET Imaging danken. Ich wurde in der Nuklearmedizin unemployeed und wurde mit Hilfe von Tim Marshel Anweisungen umgeschult. Jetzt bin ich Vollzeit arbeiten in einer PET-Lab.
Vielen Dank.

Recently I took the NCT (Nuclear Cardiology Technology Exam) for Nuclear Medicine Technologist. It was the hardest test that I have ever taken! I studied hard for 4 months "The Nuclear Cardiology Technology E-book" If it wasn't for his many hours of tutoring and his E-book, I would not have passed this exam. Should I decide to proceed to take the PET test I will use Tim Marshel and The PET/CT Training Institute's resources.

I am a 13 year ARRT practicing member and recently had the opportunity to take a position in PET/CT. In order to stay compliant I was required to become eligible to sit for the PET exam. After long extensive search for the best Alternative program I decided on Mr. Marshel's. I never once second guessed my decision to use THE PET/CT TRAINING INSTITUTE. The program is easy to follow and use, and Mr. Marshel is beyond accessible considering we are a 3 hour difference in time. He arranged meeting times around my schedule and best of all I was able to do it from the comfort of my home. You may consider going for a week long course but after you think about hotel rooms and bad restaurant food, and not to mention using vacation time , you will come back to this program - I did! Thanks Tim

Good AM Mr. Marshel, I just received my certificates yesterday in the mail, and I just wanted to say thank you for everything. I truly appreciate all of your kindness and willingness to encourage through out the process. I hope that your program has continual success. I know it has truly been an inspiration to me, and I hope it will do the same for many others. Keep up the great work!

I could never, ever had made it through the courses in four months without the expert guidance of Tim Marshel. As a CT technologist, I had no previous background in nuclear medicine and I received step-by-step instruction in every course. Additionally, I received above and beyond guidance by showing me the future for PET/CT in cardiology, neurology and oncology. This is not only cutting-edge technology, it is in-depth instruction.

I have a wonderful experience at The PET/CT Training Institute, the materiral was very extent, a lot of info to go through, but ended very helpful. The power point presentations were nicely done and educational, and very informative. This was a very exciting online experience. I recommend it. The instructors were available at all times. I enjoyed it!

The alternative on-line class was recommended to me by another technologist who was already enrolled in the PET/CT Training Institute. Taking an on-line class worked well with my work schedule as it allowed me to work at my own pace. I liked the way the modules were broken into sections as it made the courses manageable and not seem overwhelming. Tim made it clear from the start that all I had to do was request a meeting time with him and we could discuss any questions that I felt needed to be addressed. I would not hesitate to recommend the class to someone looking for an alternative eligibility course.

I just wanted to thank you again for the practice exams. They were a huge help in preparing for the exam! I took it earlier today and passed with an 85%! Thanks again for all your help! It made a big difference!

The PET CT training Institute allowed me to work at my own pace and study the way that it best suited me. With the classes being on line it made it possible for me to go back to it through out the day and also spend blocks of time when that was available to me. I was also able to refer back to the prior study material which made it very easy to check information; the site was very user friendly. Finally I always felt supported by the staff of the institute, if I had any questions or concerns they were answered promptly and clearly.
