Students will acquire comprehensive knowledge of computed tomography (CT). Students will be able to describe the various concepts related to physics and instrumentation in CT.  Identifying various anatomical structures in the CT images is required.  Students will also be able to list the parameters for various CT protocols and discuss the importance of patient care, contrast administration, and radiation safety.  (Undergraduate Credits: 3.0)

Semester-Based Course. The start and end dates of this course are listed below.

Prerequisites. Certification in radiography, nuclear medicine technology, radiation therapy OR BIO 210 & PHY 181

This course is designed to allow the students hands-on experience documenting and performing CT exams within the clinical setting under the direct supervision of a registered technologist. This course is competency based, and students will be assessed through competency exams to document the achievement of clinical objectives. (Credits: 3.0)

If a clinical placement is required, a lead time of 6-8 weeks is needed. We will try our best to accommodate for location, but may only be able to offer something at an established site.

Clinical course can be taken in conjunction with the didactic course OR independently for those only seeking a clinical placement.

Semester-Based Course. Students may request a clinical internship at any time, even if it is outside the semester dates.

Prerequisites. RSC 310, 315, 325; BIO 110, 210
