Program Description

The demand for knowledgeable, well qualified CT technologists is rising and is expected to continue outpacing other occupations. The continuing evolution of multislice scanners changes and expands the technologists’ responsibility in data acquisition, reconstruction, and post-processing. Protocols are becoming more elaborate and on the job training is no longer meeting today’s technologists' educational needs.

The CT Imaging Technology certificate curriculum prepares the individual to use specialized equipment to visualize cross-sectional anatomical structures and aid physicians in demonstrating pathologies and disease processes. Individuals entering this curriculum must hold a primary registry in radiography or radiation therapy by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) or nuclear medicine technology by the ARRT or the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB). Course work prepares technologists to provide patient care and perform studies utilizing imaging equipment, professional communication, and quality assurance in scheduled and emergency procedures through academic and clinical studies.
