Overview
About this Course
The technology of medical imaging has undergone a tremendous change since the Nobel prize-winning development of computed tomography. Becoming knowledgeable about advanced imaging technology 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 computerized imaging. This is an opportunity to improve your technical knowledge and prepare for the ARRT CT Registry Examination. If you are looking to increase 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. This course is also appropriate for technologists working with hybrid imaging systems that include CT such as PET/CT or SPECT/CT. A working background in cross-sectional anatomy is desirable, but is not required.
This 37.25 credit activity provides the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT, required for certification and registration.
Prerequisite for this course is ARRT or NMTCB registration or state licensure. Contact MTMI for details.
When selecting the Webinar option, register 7 days in advance to ensure delivery of course syllabus.
MTMI On-site COVID-19 Safety Policies and Procedures
As MTMI reopens our live courses at our headquarters in Milwaukee, WI, we want to emphasize that we care about the health of our students and instructors. That is why we are adhering to social distancing guidelines created by the state of Wisconsin and CDC.
Upon arrival at MTMI, you will see that there is a health self-assessment tool you can use before you enter the building.
Inside we have clearly labeled the social distancing rules for the elevator to ensure that only 2 people are in the elevator. If you would like to take the stairs, there are two stairwells located around the corners that will lead up to the 4th floor. Also, there are no-touch hand sanitizer dispensers available for you to use at your convenience.
We highly recommend you bring your own mask, however if you do not have one, we will provide one for your use on site. We also have sanitizing stations with disinfecting wipes, gloves and hand sanitizer located throughout the office and classrooms.
In our classrooms we have arranged it so that every table and chair is 6 feet apart. Every night we diligently disinfect the entire classroom area.
You are important to us, so we are doing our best to make this transition back to live courses as safe as possible. We hope to see you visiting us in Milwaukee very soon for upcoming courses this year
