Course Card Summary
Build a confident foundation in CT acquisition, patient preparation, image quality, dose awareness and safe clinical workflow.
Course Overview
CT Fundamentals provides a structured introduction to the principles and clinical workflow that underpin safe, effective CT practice. The course connects core physics with the decisions radiographers make before, during and after an examination.
Learners explore patient preparation, acquisition parameters, reconstruction, contrast-related considerations, image quality, artefacts and dose awareness through practical explanations and clinically relevant cases.
Learning Outcomes
- Explain how CT data are acquired, reconstructed and displayed.
- Relate key acquisition parameters to image quality, scan time and radiation dose.
- Describe a safe patient preparation and examination workflow.
- Recognise common CT artefacts and identify practical corrective actions.
- Apply a structured approach to protocol selection and basic optimisation within local policy.
Who Should Attend?
Student and newly qualified radiographers, radiographers moving into CT, assistant practitioners, and imaging professionals seeking a structured refresher.
Course Delivery
Flexible learning through live online teaching and/or supported self-paced study, with practical demonstrations, case discussions and downloadable resources.
