CT 340: CT Clinical Practicum I

The purpose of clinical practicum is to apply knowledge and techniques acquired in the program. The student’s computed tomography technique and patient rapport will be evaluated. Students will work one-on-one with a registered radiographer at designated clinical settings. The student will begin in the observation phase, move to more hands-on positioning, and demonstrate the independent performance of exams throughout the course. The student will complete a minimum of 40% of the 125 independent repetitions (50 repetitions) of computed tomography procedures as outlined in the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) clinical experience requirements.
