DESCRIPTION
This program presents a comprehensive review and update of the current
role of Computed Body Tomography for the CT Technologist with an emphasis
on Spiral (Helical) CT and the multidetector CT technology. The lectures
are designed to present the material from both an anatomic and pathologic
approach with emphasis on CT technique and optimization of scanning
protocols. Recent advances in CT application including Multidetector
CT, CT angiography, and three-dimensional imaging will be addressed.
The role of CT compared to other imaging modalities, both from a cost-effective
standpoint and from better clinical management, will be discussed and
addressed during various lectures.
