Introduction
Computed Tomography Technologists are highly skilled professionals trained to operate CT equipment, which produces cross-sectional images of patients' bones, organs, and tissue used to diagnose medical conditions in medical facilities and outpatient centres under the direct supervision of a health care provider. According to the 2015 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, the field has a 9% growth outlook through 2022. The CT program is designed not only to foster the skills and knowledge necessary for competent practise but also to emphasise professional attitudes, values and behaviours that encourage the individual student's professional growth.
The CT program is a certificate program. Students must have graduated from an accredited program and be a registered radiographer RT(R). The program has been developed to be consistent with the American Registry of Radiologic Technology (ARRT). Upon completion of the CT program, graduates will be eligible to take the ARRT-CT exam. Upon passing the CT exam, Radiologic Technologists have earned their RT(R)(CT).
