CTIC 1010 — - Fundamentals of CT
This hybrid interactive, web-based course is designed to provide students with an overview of CT instrumentation, imaging applications, physics, data acquisition, and history. Students will learn to apply theory to different types of CT equipment, Module 1 describes the history and evolution of computed tomography and the most common uses of CT scanning in medical imaging. You will learn the location and function of major CT equipment components and the basic digital imaging process. Module 2 provides an in-depth description of major CT equipment components and the sequence of events from the application of electrical current to the radiographic tube to the image. You will learn how adjusting the operator console parameters can affect CT image data and the elements of a digital image. Module 3 describes the methods of acquiring computed tomography images, the process of data acquisition and the factors influence that process. You will learn the functions of the data acquisition system and the selectable scan factors used to acquire an image. Note: Students must be accepted into the CT certificate program.
