The Computed Tomography (CT) course investigates the area of CT and hybrid imaging and facilitates student learning whilst encouraging the use of evidence-based practice and critical thinking. The specialization provides a theoretical understanding of the science of CT instrumentation, image formation and radiation dose minimization. Students will study the development of CT protocols and various operator selectable parameters. The content includes oral and intravenous contrast safety and administration; routine and interventional CT procedures; post processing; dual source and multi energy CT; CT perfusion; cardiac CT; micro-, cone beam, mobile and flat panel CT; and CT in radiation therapy and hybrid imaging.
