MasterLink Training - Herzing University

Medical Technology Management InstituteCT can be demonstrated by completing the requirements forcertification in computed tomography offered by the AmericanRegistry of Radiological Technologists (ARRT). This has becomea required credential for employment in many facilities.This webinar series is designed as a review of the topics includedon the certification examination conducted by the ARRT. Allof the major topic areas listed in the exam specifications willbe covered, making this program a very good preparationfor this examination. This webinar series can also serve as acomprehensive overview of CT for those wanting to use it toupdate skills as well.Who Should Attend: Radiological technologists working in CTand planning to take the CT registry examination given by theARRT will find this webinar helpful in their preparation. Thosetechnologists interested in learning the field of CT will find thiswebinar series to be a good introduction to the principles andpractices of CT. More experienced CT technologist lookingfor a review and updating of skills will also find the webinarseries to be of value while earning eight category A creditstoward ARRT requirements. Students, nurses, and other alliedhealthcare personnel wanting an overview of the field will findthis educational opportunity of value. Personnel of vendersof CT and related equipment will find these webinars anopportunity to increase their knowledge of the skills needed toconduct successful CT examinations.• Contact Hours: 8.0• Prerequisite: NoneImaging Pathology of the Chest and AbdomenAt the completion of this webinar, participants will be ableto review normal anatomy imaged on a chest/abdomenradiograph, recognize normal and abnormal cardiacanatomy, predict the appearance of major pathology ona radiograph, determine which major organs are likely todevelop calcifications, explain causes/differences of free airand fluid levels, and recognize enlarged organs, masses, orfree fluid in radiographic images.• Contact Hours: 6.0 hours• Prerequisite: NoneMRI Accreditation Procedures for PhysicistsEffective January 1, 2012, under the Medicare Improvementsfor Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA), all providers that billfor MRI underpart B of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedulemust be accredited in order to receive technical componentreimbursement from Medicare. Per MIPPA, accreditingbodies may perform unannounced facility surveys to validatecompliance with accreditation policies and procedures. Thiswebinar series provides an up-to-date overview of MRIaccreditation and what medical physicists and MRI facilitiesshould be doing to comply with these existing requirementsand procedures. This webinar series would be appropriate forany medical physics.Who Should Attend: This webinar is appropriate for medicalphysicists personnel involved in the planning or implementationof current or future MRI facility accreditation, as well asaccreditation personnel and vendor personnel involved withcurrent or future MRI accreditation• Contact Hours: 5.0• Prerequisite: NoneNeuro Cross-Sectional Anatomy for CT and MRIRadiology has been developing dramatically during thepast few years. With enhancements in magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), the role ofthe radiologic technologist has also been changing. Skills incross-sectional anatomy are important to help the technologistin MRI and CT to identify the anatomy being imaged and tocommunicate effectively with the radiologist and physicians.This webinar is offered to provide you with the opportunity toexpand your knowledge of neuro cross-sectional anatomy andits appearance in CT and MRI images.Who Should Attend: You should attend if you are a radiologictechnologist currently working in CT and MRI or are interestedin learning about these fields. Student technologists will alsofind this an effective way to learn about or expand theirknowledge of neuro cross-sectional anatomy. It would beappropriate for other healthcare professionals interested inimproving their knowledge in this basic skill area.• Contact Hours: 8.0• Prerequisite: NonePACS as a ProfessionThis webinar is designed for all imaging professionals whowant to explore the challenging world of imaging informatics.Who Should Attend: Radiology administrators, RTs andpersonnel who are actively involved (or want to be involved) inPACS selection, planning, and implementation will benefit fromthis Webinar. Current PACS administrators and field engineerswho wish to update their knowledge will benefit from the blendof medical imaging and PACS business content in this webinar.• Contact Hours: 2.0 hours• Prerequisite: NoneSummer 2012• 108Visit our website at www.herzing.edu
