Basic CT / Registry Review

and cross-sectional anatomy

Instructor: Wil Reddinger, MS RT (R)(CT)

Held at the Hilton Garden Inn - Hamilton Place, in Chattanooga, TN, this intensive 3-day program offers the technologist a structured introduction to the basic principles of Computed Tomography (CT).  The material is presented in a non-vendor specific format making it applicable to most major MR systems clinically available today.  Day-3 will cover cross-sectional anatomy using both CT and MR images.


This Basic CT program is designed for technologists who have had no previous experience in CT, as well as those who have been working in CT, but have had no formal education in basic CT principles. This program also serves as an in-depth review for technologists preparing for the CT registry exam.


Nuclear Medicine Technologists who are, or will be, entering into an environment with a PET/CT system can also benefit from the material present in this program  Additionally, Radiation Therapy Technologists who are moving into a CT environment can also benefit from the material present in the class.


If the attendee has had no previous exposure to CT, it is recommended they observe at an CT facility for a few weeks prior to attending the program.


Tuition for the Basic CT program is $575 (US) for all 3 days.  Tuition includes syllabus materials. Food, lodging and transportation costs are not included.


Attendees will receive a CD-ROM on the first day of class with PDF files of the lecture materials and other helpful information.  The lecture materials will be made available online for downloading so that, if you desire, they may be printed ahead of time and used for taking notes in class.  If you wish to purchase a printed version of the syllabus, you may do so on the first day of class for $20.


Additional registration options without anatomy day or for anatomy only are available - see the registration page. Contact me via email if you have any questions.
