This online course provides comprehensive didactic education in Computed Tomography for currently credentialed imaging professionals pursuing post-primary CT certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
Instruction covers CT physics, scanner design and operation, image acquisition and reconstruction, image quality, radiation safety, patient care, contrast media administration, imaging informatics, and cross-sectional anatomy.
The Computed Tomography Continuing Education Course is not included within Sacramento Ultrasound Institute’s grant of accreditation from ABHES.
This CT course is designed for actively registered or certified imaging professionals and is not an entry-level program. To qualify, you must hold a current credential in good standing as an ARRT Radiologic Technologist (R.T.(R)), an ARRT Radiation Therapist (R.T.(T)), or an NMTCB-certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist; sonography, MRI, or vascular sonography credentials alone do not qualify. Before applying, you should also have employment or an established clinical affiliation with a facility that performs CT exams, permission from your employer, manager, or clinical supervisor to participate in CT clinical training, and access to qualified clinical personnel who can verify the clinical experience required for your certification pathway. Please contact Admissions before applying to confirm your eligibility, enrollment availability in your state, and the clinical-site information needed for your application.
The course is organized into nine instructional modules that build a focused foundation in CT, covering physics, patient care, radiation safety, and cross-sectional anatomy. Each module ends with an examination.
Modules
Registry Preparation
Two mock registry exams of 165 questions each are included for practice and self-assessment. They are not graded course requirements, are separate from the required module exams, and may be taken an unlimited number of times.
The course is delivered online through Moodle and is entirely self-paced, with no fixed class meeting times. You may work through the modules and exams at your own pace within your course completion window. Please confirm your access start date and completion deadline with Admissions before signing your enrollment agreement, and contact the Course Administrator promptly if circumstances may affect your ability to finish.
Completion Requirements
To successfully complete the course, you must finish all nine instructional modules and pass each required module examination. Refer to your course syllabus for passing scores, attempt limits, and progression requirements. The two mock registry exams are for practice only and do not affect your course grade or eligibility for the certificate of completion.
This course is approved by the ASRT for 25.25 Category A continuing education credits. It provides continuing education credit only and does not lead to an academic credential, degree, or diploma.
Earning Your Credits
Please note: A course certificate is not CT certification. You are responsible for meeting all eligibility, clinical experience, documentation, and examination requirements. Completing this course does not guarantee certification, licensure, or employment.
Clinical experience is a separate requirement of the ARRT CT certification pathway. It is not part of this 100% online continuing education course and is not a condition of earning the 25.25 Category A credits. Participants are responsible for completing and documenting the clinical experience required for their pathway, and all clinical activities must follow the requirements and supervision arrangements of the healthcare facility where they take place.
Before enrolling: Confirm your access to an appropriate clinical setting and the documentation required for your certification pathway. Direct any questions about the scope of SUI’s involvement to Admissions.
