CT Training Course for Technologists
Course Overview
The technology of medical imaging
has undergone a tremendous change since the Nobel prize-winning development of computed tomography. Becoming knowledgeable about high technology imaging is essential for the radiologic technologist to grow with the field.

This course will provide technologists with the opportunity to learn this technology and become part of the evolution toward electronic computerized imaging. This is an opportunity to improve your technical knowledge and prepare for the ARRT CT Registry Examination. If you are looking to enhance your job opportunities or provide yourself with
a more satisfying work experience,
then this course is for you.

This course is appropriate for technologists wishing to enter the field of CT scanning with no previous experience as well as technologists who have worked in CT without extensive formal training. A working background in cross-sectional anatomy is desirable, but is not required.

Prerequisite for this course is ARRT registration or state licensure.
Contact MTMI for details.
Course Objectives
At the completion of this course,
participants will be able to:
  • describe the basic principles and concepts of computed tomography.
  • incorporate scanning techniques
    learned to best demonstrate
    anatomy and pathology.
  • describe techniques in manipulating
    CT parameters to optimize
    image quality.
  • recognize CT artifacts and describe techniques to minimize their
    occurrence.
  • compare the advantages and disadvantages of various CT
    scanner configurations.

Extended Clinical Training Program
MTMI has established a CT Technologist On-site Clinical Training Program. This program is intended to follow the one-week formal training course for technologists offered by MTMI. Satisfactory completion of a comparable formal training course will be a prerequisite for participation. Various clinical training locations around Milwaukee, WI are arranged on an individual basis. Click here to email Bridgett in MTMI's Education Department to learn more about and to arrange for the Clinical Training Program. Space is limited for this training. The cost of this training is $195 per day or $750 per week. (The extended clinical training program is not designed to meet all the ARRT Clinical Competency Requirements).
Course Credit
This program provides 38 Category A continuing education credits recognized by the ARRT and various licensure states. All attendees must attend the entire course to receive full credit. Credit from various licensure states has also been applied for.

All clinical requirements as well as eligibiltiy requirements to sit for the registry exam are listed!
Recommended Reading
On the first day of the course you will be given a course syllabus containing all the course material.
In addition we recommend these books:
"Computed Tomography",
"Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals",
"Pocket Atlas of CT Volume I",
"Pocket Atlas of CT Volume II", and
"Pocket Atlas of CT Volume III"
