The imaging industry has seen a merging of technology over the last 3-5 years. Combined Positron
Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography
(PET/CT) is a pivotal example of this emerging
trend. Computed Tomography allows for excellent
imaging of the structure and anatomy of an
individual.
The CT Concentration will provide students and
baccalaureate graduates who have obtained their
primary certification (ARRT, NMTCB) (RT, RT(R),
RT(T), RT(N), CNMT), the opportunity to seek a
post-primary secondary certification in CT through
the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists
(ARRT).
