The Advanced CT program consists of three semesters of clinical training to complete the competencies and additional physics/instrumentation coursework. Upon successful completion, students are eligible to sit for the national CT certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
Students may also choose to pursue the BSRS in Medical Imaging in addition to the certificate program.
CT Technologists use specialized equipment to produce cross sectional images of the human anatomy. CT scanning utlizes numerous x-ray beams and a set of electronic x-ray detectors that rotate around the patient, measuring the amount of radiation being absorbed throughout the body to produce multiple axial images.
