CT Registry Review Series: Part 4
Credits
- 4 ASRT Pending
About this Program
In the past several years, significant advances in Computed Tomography (CT) technology have occurred with the development of spiral/helical scanning and multi-slice/multi-detector row scanners. These developments have driven an expansion in the clinical applications of CT and an increased number of CT scanners. Opportunities for CT technologists have grown as a result. Evidence of competency in CT can be demonstrated by completing the requirements for certification in Computed Tomography offered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). This has become a required credential for employment in many facilities.
This on-demand review series offers a comprehensive foundation in CT imaging knowledge, enhancing your understanding of the appropriate use and interpretation of this technology. Accessible at your convenience, this series allows you to choose the topics you need to review and revisit them whenever you wish. This serves at preparation for the ARRT CT certification examination
Completing all four parts provides 16 continuing education credits. A certificate of attendance, documenting 4-credit hours will be provided for each individual upon completion.
