Computed Tomography (CT)

This course provides an overview of the principles and applications of computed tomography (CT) procedures. Patient considerations and safety, physics and instrumentation, and procedural details are covered. Image reconstruction and specialty exams are also studied.

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.

Students will work one-on-one with a registered radiographer at designated clinical settings. As a continuation of CT 340, the student will perform most exams independently. The student will complete the remaining minimum of 125 independent repetitions of computed tomography procedures as outlined in the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) clinical experience requirements.
