RADT 299 CT Procedures

This course is designed as a bridge gap course for student who have completed the Sectional Anatomy and MRI Procedures. CT procedures focuses on the actual methods of producing diagnostic CT images. For each exam, common protocols required, techniques used, anatomy included, and image acquisition and reconstruction modifications will be discussed. Common pathologies diagnosable with CT imaging will be presented. Through this course, students will develop the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to perform standard Computed Tomography procedures during their clinical rotation.
