As the world of medical imaging continues to evolve, Computed Tomography (CT) stands out as one of the fastest-growing and most in-demand specialties. For radiologic technologists seeking to grow their skill set, improve patient care, and boost career mobility, cross-training into CT is a smart and strategic move.

Whether you’re a Radiologic Technologist (RT), a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, or a Radiation Therapist, adding CT to your credentials opens new doors. The ARRT requires 16 hours of structured education in CT and verified clinical experience to sit for the CT registry exam. That means a solid foundation—not just a passing familiarity—is essential. Understanding the science behind CT, from physics and image reconstruction to contrast protocols and patient care, sets the stage for success both in the classroom and in clinical practice.

But foundational knowledge alone isn’t enough. The real learning happens when you see theory in action. That’s where clinical experience—or realistic scanning simulation—becomes a vital part of the learning process. Exposure to CT protocols, image acquisition, patient positioning, and even navigating critical case scenarios is what brings confidence and competence together.

That’s exactly why AHEC and Southwest Texas College have partnered to offer CT for the Radiologic Technologist, a comprehensive 40-hour course available in-person or online. Whether you’re in the room or logging in remotely, this course equips you with the education you need—and the hands-on tools to reinforce it.

Here’s what sets this course apart:

Comprehensive Curriculum
You’ll cover CT physics, patient care, venipuncture, imaging protocols, safety, and contrast administration—all aligned with ARRT requirements.

Expert-Led Instruction
You’ll learn from experienced CT professionals who understand both the clinical realities and the registry expectations.

Interactive Simulation with ScanLabCT
This isn’t passive learning. With ScanLabCT, you’ll practice patient positioning, image acquisition, and reconstruction—all in a simulated environment that mimics the CT suite. Even better? You’ll get six months of access to keep practicing after the course ends.

Support Beyond the Classroom
With a 90-day SharePoint and Teams community, students stay connected with instructors and peers, rewatch class videos, ask questions, and continue the learning journey together.

Ready to make the leap? The next CT for the RT course runs August 14–18, and payment plans are available. It’s the ideal next step for imaging professionals who want to cross-train into CT with confidence—and with support every step of the way.
