Overview
About this Webinar
In the past several years, significant advances in the technology of Computed Tomography (CT) have occurred with the development of spiral/helical scanning and multi-slice/multi-detector row scanners. These developments have driven an expansion in the clinical applications of CT and an increase in the number of CT scanners. Opportunities for CT technologists have grown as a result. Evidence of competency in CT can be demonstrated by completing the requirements for certification in Computed Tomography offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). This has become a required credential for employment in many facilities.
This webinar series is designed as a review of the topics included on the certification examination conducted by the ARRT. All of the major topic areas listed in the exam specifications will be covered making this program a very good preparation for this examination. The webinar series will be divided in four - 3.5 hour, 4 credit sessions making this an effective way to review and prepare for the examination. This webinar series can also serve as a comprehensive overview of CT for those wanting to use it to update skills as well.
A certificate of attendance, documenting 4 hours of credit will be provided for each individual upon completion of each 3.5 hour session of the webinar. Completion of all 4 sessions of this series will provide the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT, required for certification and registration.
A printable download will be available to each registrant prior to the first session of the webinar. This will allow you to follow along with the presentation and make notes as you feel necessary.
This webinar will be presented in four - 3.5-hour sessions.
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants should be able to:
- Understand the patient handling, assessment and monitoring skills required for CT examinations.
- Safely conduct and monitor the administration of contrast media required for some CT imaging techniques.
- Appreciate radiation safety and dose considerations needed to conduct CT examinations safely.
- Describe the main components of a CT scanner and their function in the imaging process.
- Understand the operation of a CT scanner and the control of parameters that affect image quality and artifacts.
