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 CT Registry Review webinar series reviews the topics included in the ARRT CT certification examination. All of the major topic areas listed in the CT exam specifications are covered making this computed tomography registry review program a very good preparation for this examination. Although the program is more of a live study guide than a practice exam, it does include questions from the exam for your review.
The CT scan registry review webinar series is divided into four - 3.5-hour, 4-credit sessions making this an effective way to review and prepare for the examination. This CT Registry Review webinar series also served as a comprehensive overview of CT for those wanting to update their skills.
A certificate of attendance, documenting 4 hours of CE credit will be provided for each individual upon completion of each 3.5-hour CT Registry Review webinar session. Completing all 4 sessions of this series provides the 16 hours of structured education related to the content specifications outlined by the ARRT, required for certification and registration.
Printable course materials will be available to each registrant before the first session of the computed tomography registry review webinar. This will allow you to follow along with the presentation and make notes as necessary.
Tuition listed is per session.
