CT Training Course for Technologists
About this Program
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 in the field.
This boot camp course provides CT scan training in-person or online. It allows technologists to learn CT 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 to obtain CT certification. 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.
Our students have a 94% pass rate when taking the ARRT Registry Exam.
Prerequisites for this course are ARRT or NMTCB registration or state licensure. Contact MTMI for details.
How to Become a CT Scan Technologist
CT techs must be certified to perform CT scans (also known as CAT scans). To earn CT certification, you must complete an academic program at some type of CT tech school and then pass an exam—typically the ARRT CT Registry Examination.
Educational 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.
- Review and understand radiation exposures in CT, how to measure and report CT dose and dose reduction techniques.
