Course: College of Radiographers CPD Endorsed, Computed Tomography

Module: CT Principles

Module Description:
This module is an excellent review for the seasoned CT technologist or forms an excellent knowledge base for the radiologic technologist who is training in CT. This is a comprehensive, 4 hour course and the participant will receive 4 CE credits after completion.


In conventional radiography the image impressed on the film is formed by the "shadows" generated by the various parts of an object. Using a CT scanner, the image is a reconstruction of the different attenuation coefficients relative to each one of the cells forming the material within a layer (slice) of the object.

This comprehensive tutorial will review the basics of generating X-rays and the limitations of radiography. The student will learn the history of CT, the basic system components of a CT scanner and methods involved in CT scanning and acquisition, and the concept of image quality as it relates to CT scanning.
