Description:

Focuses on a detail study of gross anatomical structures and common diseases that are diagnosable via Computed Tomography (CT). This course identifies the gross anatomical structures in axial (transverse), sagittal, coronal and orthogonal (oblique) planes while simultaneously stressing the characteristic appearance of each anatomical structure on CT, Magnetic Resonance (MR) and ultrasound images. Additionally, each disease or trauma process diagnosable via CT is examined and identified on the CT images. This course is one of four didactic courses designed for Radiologic Technologists Registered (or registry eligible new graduates) in Radiography through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) or in Nuclear Medicine through the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB). This course is also designed for the technologist who is seeking to obtain one of the following: post primary certification in Computed Tomography (CT) through the ARRT or NMTCB, employment as a CT Technologist, ARRT category A and NMTCB continuing education credits, or is a medical imaging professional seeking to complete HACC's Radiologic Imaging option within the Health Science AAS degree.
