Overview
About this Course
(January 31 Course will be WEBINAR ONLY) Our students have a 94% pass rate when taking the Boards.
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
MTMI follows the Milwaukee Health Department’s mask advisory and strongly recommends masks in our classrooms and common areas, regardless of vaccine status, and to practice social distancing when possible.
The best way to stop the community spread of COVID-19 is to take preventative action to protect yourself and others:
- Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can. Vaccines are safe and readily available at walk-in clinics throughout the community for anyone over the age of 12 years old.
- Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others, and stay at least 6 feet apart from others who don’t live with you.
- Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces, and improve ventilation whenever possible.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
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.

Testimonials
I just finished the CT training course this past week and it was so informative. All of the speakers were great! I just wanted to give you guys an update. On Saturday, the day after the course finished, I took my boards. I PASSED! So, I just want to thank everyone at MTMI for their expertise and willingness to teach! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season. I'll be sure to come back (looking to do MRI now).
Your CT course was excellent. It was very professional and informative. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for offering this course. Now I have 9 weeks to study for the NMTCB(CT) exam in April.
very informative
