NMT 4030 Advanced Imaging Physics

(formerly NMT 403)

The goal of this course is to prepare students to sit for and pass a national board exam in Computer Tomography. Course curricula and clinical competency follow the guidelines established by the American Registry of Radiological Technologists. The curriculum also corresponds with all of the requirements set forth by the NMTCB for their CT specific exam. Comprehensive didactic instruction includes, but is not limited to: patient care and safety, CT physics, systems operations and instrumentation, data acquisition, image display and post processing of all imagine procedures, quality control, informatics, contrast media and administration along with intensive examination. Students are required to pass the course with a minimum of a C+ grade to advance. Students will be required to meet all supervised clinical competency standards to be eligible for ARRT and NMTCB exam.
