About the program

Students observe computed tomography procedures, perform procedures under direct supervision of registered technologists and complete required clinical competencies toward the national certification exam for computed tomography or to be applied toward continuing education requirements as deemed by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

Computed technology (CT) scans are ordered on trauma, cancer and non-trauma patients and is often the first diagnostic imaging exam ordered on patients. A computed technologist works in hospitals or outpatient healthcare facilities using a CT scanner with an x-ray unit that rotates to image anatomy in the body as slices. The images are assembled and reconstructed digitally to create a series of diagnostic images that physicians use to interpret for a patient diagnosis.
