Emphasis will be in the clinical applications of computed tomography as they pertain to radiation safety, patient care, contrast media, imaging procedures and protocols. Radiation Safety is a "hot topic" in CT imaging today and you will receive the most updated information, as well as what you can do as a technologist to minimize your patient's exposure.

Case studies will be used to provide a comprehensive review of general protocols, scanography, slice orientation, IV contrast, Slice thickness and range, kernel and display factors, and normal vs. abnormal studies of the commonly performed CT procedures.
