计算机断层扫描是一种医学成像方式，它使用X射线和数字计算机生成人体的横截面图像，以识别仅通过常规放射线照相难以评估的病理状况。CT技术为患者做好检查准备，提供患者护理，记录病史以帮助放射科医生进行准确的诊断，定位患者以展示所需的解剖结构，确定适当的技术参数以准确地展示解剖结构和病理状况，并创建可以成为患者病史的一部分。计算机断层扫描的专业需要批判性思维和提供诊断图像的能力，同时在压力下保持镇定。CT程序可以在两个季度（6个月）内完成。每周40小时，包括一个教室日和四个临床日。
Computed Tomography is a medical imaging modality that produces cross-sectional images of the body using X-rays and digital computers in order to identify pathological conditions that are difficult to evaluate through conventional radiography alone. The CT tech prepares patients for exams, provides patient care, takes a medical history to assist the radiologist in making an accurate diagnosis, positions patients to demonstrate the desired anatomy, determines appropriate technical parameters to accurately demonstrate anatomy and pathology, and creates images that will be part of the patient's medical history. The profession of computed tomography requires critical thinking and the ability to provide diagnostic images while staying calm under pressure. The CT program can be completed in two quarters (6 months). Each 40-hour week includes one classroom day and four clinical days.
