Description

This course provides CT and Nuclear Medicine technologists a comprehensive understanding of the CT abdomen and pelvis exam. It delves into abdominal and pelvic anatomy, patient interaction/management, and crucial aspects of radiation safety/QA and CT image processing. Clinical applications for the ER, infectious disease, and colon are reviewed, along with specific use examples, challenges, and ongoing research relevant to cross-sectional abdominal imaging.

Did you know?

A particularly interesting, yet lesser-known, aspect of abdominal and pelvic CT scans is their ability to generate virtual non-contrast images (VNIs) from a single contrast-enhanced scan using dual-energy CT (DECT) technology. This can eliminate the need for a separate, actual non-contrast scan in many cases.
