Computed Tomography CT Fellowship Computed Tomography Imaging is an integral part of high complexity imaging in Radiology. You can be ready to start an exciting new phase of your career through training for this modality. Understanding the principles, theory and console skills is necessary for decision making, patient care, and independent judgment. You can learn the sectional anatomy, computer operations, imaging protocols, and physics from the experts. Practical applications and clinical rotations are key ingredients to completing your training. You can choose the right combination of events to match your educational needs. Week one of the training covers principles and practice. Weeks two and three are clinical rotations. Invest in your future and advance your career. This three-week modular course is designed to introduce the technologist to computerized tomography principles and practice. Classroom instruction will include history and development of CT, basic physics, instrumentation, technique and protocols, positioning, sectional anatomy, Venipuncture, oral and IV contrast, safety considerations, and nonroutine studies. Clinical training will provide the fellowship technologist with 40 hours per week of observation and hands-on instruction in local hospital settings. The clinical experience is designed to enhance and reinforce the principles studied during the week of theory. Bettye G. Wilson, MAEd, RT(R)(CT), RDMS, FASRT Bettye is an associate professor of radiologic sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, School of Health Related Professions. Her faculty duties include courses in cross-sectional anatomy and ethics and basic law. Bettye is also coordinator and course master for the advanced imaging concentrations in computed tomography and diagnostic medical ultrasound. At present, Bettye serves on the Editorial Review Board of Radiologic Technology. She is currently serving as President of the ARRT Board of Trustees. Bettye is the author of several articles and a book, and has lectured extensively at the state, national, and international levels. She is also a Trustee of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Course Topics Week 1 - Theory (total 32 hours) 4 hours - History and Instrumentation 8 Hours - Basic Physics and Principles 8 Hours - Protocols and Contrast Media 8 Hours - Sectional Anatomy, Image Correlation 4 hours - Non-routine Studies and Review CE Credit 32 Hours Weeks 2, 3 - Clinical Rotation Technologists enrolling in clinical rotations are required to complete the theory portion of the fellowship course prior to being allowed to attend clinical rotations. 40 hours of clinical rotations (Monday-Friday) each week will give each fellowship technologist the opportunity to experience a wide array of exams, be tutored by experienced CT professionals who provide insights, advice, and help you get the most out of your training. 80 hours total Certificate of completion rewarded reflecting clinical hours completed. ** No CE is awarded for clinical hours Due to the amount of information course attendees must process, it is important to read over the recommended text outside of the classroom setting. This allows the attendees to ask any questions related to the material of the course faculty. AHEC continually strives to provide the highest quality continuing education for students. It is our goal to ensure that fellowship attendees learn the material required to perform the duties of a CT technologist.

Computed Tomography Be All That You Can Be In CT Since most CT technologists have been cross-trained into the modality by other CT technologists, the level of effective knowledge can decrease with each generation of CT technologist. Rooted from the technical and clinical applications of CT, this course will illustrate how you can optimize your daily performance through a better understanding of the optimal use of technologist-controlled CT system parameters, radiation reduction, minimizing artifacts and producing quality images. This course also includes topics of interest on patient care and contrast media administration as well as other related topics for a well-rounded CT course. If you want to be a more effective and better educated CT technologist then this course is for you. New Course Course Topics • Technologist-Controlled-CT Parameters • Optimizing Image Quality • CT Physics and Instrumentation: Basics of Data Processing and Image Display • Artifacts • Dose Considerations • Contrast media • Patient care Faculty Brad Holmer, AS, RT(R)(CT) Dates/Locations Raleigh (Morrisville), NC Feb 16 Holmer Fee $159 More Dates to Come!
