Computed Tomography Admission Requirements

 

Admission Requirements for Computed Tomography
(Advanced Certificate)

 

Conditional Admission
This one-semester program prepares radiographers to perform CT (computed tomography) procedures in hospitals and imaging centers. This curriculum covers all subjects identified in the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists’ content specifications for the Examination in Computed Tomography. CT is an imaging modality that combines the use of x-rays and computer technology. Cross-sectional images of the body are produced by an x-ray beam and an array of detectors that encircle the patient. These images can be reconstructed in multiple planes to display anatomical structures not otherwise visible on conventional radiographs.
