Understanding CT Technology

The technology of CT has made significant strides in the past few years, first with the development of spiral/helical scanning and more recently with multislice/multidetector CT scanning capability. These technological developments have opened the doors to new and improved applications for CT scanning. An understanding of these advances will provide career growth opportunities for technologists working in CT. This seminar will provide an improved understanding of multislice/multidetector CT as well as scan protocols, quality control procedures, and ACR accreditation procedures and requirements. Advancements in clinical applications of this technology will also be reviewed.
