About this course

This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of Computed Tomography (CT) basics and concepts. CT is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of CT, including the physics behind the technology, the image acquisition process, and the various clinical applications of CT imaging.  There are no perquisites required for this course, just your willingness to learn! Course Goals:To understand who invented CT and the CT generation that most CT scanners are designed by.To learn about CT image acquisition techniques, display and parameters associated with image formation.To identify different components of a CT scanner and their respective locations.To understand the purpose of a power injector and its purpose for CT imaging.To learn the importance of educating the CT patient on all aspects of the exam and communication is key.To understand the importance of radiation safety in CT imaging.Course Outline:I.
