Cat Scan Training Programs
Our ct scan certificate training program is designed to meet the needs of technologists entering the field of computed tomography.
Cat scan training programs. The program s curriculum is designed to help students obtain the education and training needed to assist board certified radiologists in the execution and management of ct imaging cat scans of the head neck spine musculoskeletal chest pelvis abdomen and other specialized procedures. The program also includes clinical training for every student which will be coursed through our partner locations. 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. As a cat scan technician you begin your training by completing a certificate diploma or degree program in radiography or radiologic technology followed by additional training in ct imaging.
A cat scan technologist also called ct scan technologist uses noninvasive computerized medical technology to take ct scan images which are used to diagnose evaluate and treat a variety of medical issues. You can find educational programs at a variety of schools but should make sure they are accredited. The technologists who operate the equipment qualify first in a related field then earn ct certification with additional training or experience. This course is also appropriate for technologists working with hybrid imaging systems that include ct such as pet ct or spect ct.
For example computed tomography imaging better known as ct or cat scanning uses an array of low powered x rays to generate highly detailed images of the head or body. The program covers the entire ct content specifications as outlined by the american registry of radiologic technologists. Each course within cttechbootcamp is comprised of our unique and engaging video lessons digital workbooks assessments with answer. Cat scan technologists sometimes known as ct or radiologic technologists provide diagnostic images of the interior of the human body using computerized tomography cat or ct scanners.
These courses are based on the arrt ct registry post primary pathway requirements outlined by the american registry of radiologic technologists arrt. Critical thinking and problem solving skills are emphasized throughout the program to help students gain a practical understanding of ct. This program constitutes a classroom and online training in ct. The cttechbootcamp online computed tomography training resource is comprised of five 5 individual courses.
