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.
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.
