CT Training Course for Technologists
About this Program
Medical imaging technology has changed tremendously since the Nobel prize-winning development of computed tomography. Knowledge of advanced imaging technology is essential for the radiologic technologist to grow in the field.
This in-person or online CT boot camp course combined with ScanLabCT ™ completely redefines cross-training. 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.
This course is perfect for radiologic technologists wishing to enter the field of CT scanning with no previous experience and 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.
If you want to increase your job opportunities and have a more satisfying work experience, this course is for you!
How It Works
- Before the course begins, you will receive a ScanLab instruction module to familiarize yourself with the software. On the first day of the course, you will receive access to the ScanLabCT online scanning simulation software. You’ll experience realistic CT scans and clinical situations. You’ll produce images that would be achieved in a real CT scanner.
- ScanLabCT incorporates virtual reality with interactive patient and image acquisition to replicate the complex clinical aspects of day-to-day practice. ScanLabCT also includes image reconstruction examinations and critical thinking questions to reinforce comprehension and retention.
- The instructors include CT virtual scanning demonstrations to provide a practical understanding of their lectures. You can continue practicing on the CT simulation software for five months after the course.
This 40-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 96% pass rate when taking the board 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 a CT tech school/provider (like MTMI) 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.
