3-Learn advanced imaging protocols for specialized studies such as angiography, oncology scans, trauma imaging, and cardiac CT.
4-Understand the role of CT in detecting pathologies, staging of diseases, and its integration with other modalities like MRI, X-ray, and PET.
5-Acquire hands-on training in performing basic and advanced CT procedures independently under radiologist supervision.
6-Master the positioning and preparation of patients for CT scans including trauma, pediatric, and contrast-enhanced studies.
7-Administer contrast media with understanding of indications, adverse reactions, and emergency response.
8-Operate CT equipment with precision, safety, and efficiency, optimizing scan parameters to achieve quality images.
9-Identify and minimize artifacts and technical errors in CT image acquisition and reconstruction.
10-Perform quality control (QC) and equipment maintenance to ensure safety, accuracy, and machine uptime.
11-Exhibit professional behavior, compassion, and ethical conduct in dealing with patients and healthcare teams.
12-Communicate effectively with radiologists, nurses, and fellow technicians for seamless imaging workflow.
13-Understand legal responsibilities, patient rights, and data confidentiality in radiologic practice.
14-To develop administrative and documentation skills, such as admission, discharge, patient records, and report maintenance.
15-Develop skills in case-based learning, documentation, and clinical record-keeping.
16-Cultivate an attitude for continuous learning and staying updated with new CT technologies and protocols.
17-Conduct small-scale research or audits and understand principles of evidence-based imaging.
