Computed Tomography Technologists use a rotating x-ray unit and sensor assembly to observe slices of anatomy within the body. During processing the computer stacks and assembles the individual slices creating a series of diagnostic images that physicians can cycle through. With CT scans physicians can view the inside of organs layer by layer a feat not possible with general radiography. Computed tomography images can be reconstructed to create a 3-D representation of the anatomy of interest. As a CT technologist youll likely work in a hospital or an imaging center. Youll perform scans on all parts of the body for a variety of reasons. Some patients need imaging to diagnose a disease or an acute condition. Others need CT scans in emergencies so physicians can understand the extent of injuries.
