Online MRI & CT Program for Radiologic Technologists
Founded in New York, NY in 2015, Pulse Radiology Education LLC became the first online, ARRT approved, postprimary MRI Certification Program, Computed Tomography (CT) Training and Mammography Program. Pulse Radiology was founded by Neil Huber in November 2015 and launched the first online MRI Program in January 2016. The genesis of Pulse Radiology was built around the idea of providing radiologic technologists the ability to prepare and train for ARRT advanced credentials in a hybrid style allowing working radiologic technologists to balance work and personal life properly while pursuing advanced, postprimary ARRT goals.
Our team of dedicated radiology personnel strives to provide the expected outcome of each individual technologist that comes to us for quality education. Our goal is to provide comprehensive MRI, CT and Mammography education.

Pulse Radiology History
Pulse Radiology Education, LLC was founded on November 8, 2015, exactly 120 years after Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the first x-ray. In January 2016, Pulse Radiology Education launched the first online ARRT postprimary MRI Program. This program was initially started to help radiologic technologists in New York, NY earn their MRI certification with the ability to train locally in New York.
In January 2017, Pulse Radiology launched the first online Computed Tomography (CT) training program. The CT program followed the same model as the online MRI program, in which radiologic technologists participate in weekly online computed tomography modules to build fundamental knowledge to sit confidently for the computed tomography (CT) ARRT registry examination. Once radiologic technologists complete the online didactic program, students began their practice onsite clinical training at one of our partnering clinical locations. After realizing success in New York, Pulse Radiology began a mission for national outreach with the vision to allow any technologist across the United States to learn from a distance and train locally.
In May 2017, Pulse Radiology extended its offerings through online self-paced, video module programs into the ARRT radiology CE credit market through the Pulse CE Academy. The Pulse CE Academy was launched to help radiologic technologists satisfy ARRT biennium continuing education (CE) and continuing qualification requirements (CQR) with focused radiology topic modules and post-lecture tests. Radiologic technologists are required to view the entire video module, take notes and then answer post-lecture test questions to receive radiology CE credits approved by the ASRT (American Society of Radiologic Technologists). The Pulse CE Academy was renamed to the Pulse CE Membership in 2022.
On January 1, 2018, the ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists) Continuing Qualifications Requirements, or CQR went into effect. CQR changes the ARRT vision from a “once registered, forever qualified” certification to a “time-limited” recertification model. This requires all radiologic technologists certified or credentialed after January 1, 2011, to re-certify after their 10-year registration date. Pulse Radiology is proud to offer CQR specific radiology CE credits to help satisfy CQR requirements.
In 2019, Pulse Radiology leveraging their clinical network, noticed the tremendous demand for mammography technologists and entered into an educational partnership with RadComm, one of the leaders in mammography education. This partnership allowed another avenue for technologists to advance anywhere in the United States and is currently helping clinical partners fill vital roles in women’s health centers.
In 2020, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pulse Radiology made the decision to invest heavily in online education. As the world battled economic downturns and ravaging shutdowns, the need for online resources and education was heavily relied upon. In March 2020, Neil Huber founded an additional entity called Pulse Radiology Institute, the first online radiology university. In December 2020, Pulse Radiology Institute gained provisional state licensure through the Commission of Independent Education (CIE) in the State of Florida. Pulse Radiology Institute is now operating and offering an Associates degree granting program in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
In October 2022, Edcetera, the Eden Capital-backed provider of continuing education, exam prep, and licensing programs, announced the acquisition of Pulse Radiology, a pre-licensure and continuing education provider that helps Radiologic Technologists (RTs) prepare for both ARRT Structured Education and Clinical Requirements. “A real challenge in many critical health care fields is finding educational programs that deliver the accessibility and flexibility of online learning and the hands-on experience that is often required through clinical training. That’s why we are excited to bring Pulse Radiology’s innovative solution into the Edcetera family,” said Nader Qaimari, chief executive officer of Edcetera. This acquisition plans to provide a robust expansion into other radiology specialities. “Our dedicated team is invested in the success of each individual technologist that comes to us for advanced ARRT certification. Our goal is to provide comprehensive MRI, CT, and Mammography education that is of the highest quality while delivering the utmost in convenience,” said Neil Huber, founder and CEO of Pulse Radiology. “By becoming part of Edcetera, we will have the infrastructure and resources to continue building a robust and end-to-end learning ecosystem in the radiology field and to help technologists succeed in their careers.”
