CT200 – Computed Tomography Clinical Experience 

Computed Tomography technologists operate advanced imaging equipment to obtain computer generated sectional images of the human body. Computed tomography technologists must be able to provide quality patient care while working closely with the radiologist in a fast-paced, high volume area.

The clinical portion of the Computed Tomography Program is designed to prepare students to be competent, efficient working technologists. Upon successful completion of the CT clinical course, students will have met the examination requirements for the ARRT, and be eligible to sit for the CT post-primary certification exam. 
Prerequisite: Introduction to Computed Tomography

MRI200 - Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinical Experience

Magnetic resonance imaging technologists are highly skilled professionals who use powerful magnets to obtain detailed images of the various structures in the human body. MRI technologists must have the ability to interact effectively with physicians and compassionately towards patients

The clinical portion of the MRI Program is designed to prepare students to be competent, efficient working technologists. Upon successful completion of the MRI clinical course, students will have met the examination requirements for the ARRT, and be eligible to sit for the MRI certification exam.
