Computed Tomography School Programs Online

Radiologic technologists can specialize in computed tomography (CT).


Computed tomography (CT) is an imaging modality that is used by radiologic technologists when performing diagnostic imaging examinations. Technologists who specialize in CT are trained to produce cross-sectional x-rays by using ionizing radiation. These online programs provide technologists with the flexibility to continue working while obtaining a specialization in computed tomography.


Galveston College


Galveston College has an online certificate program in computed tomography that is designed for students with at least an associate's degree. This program prepares students for the CT examination and can be completed on a full-time schedule in one semester. For the online program, students may enter into the program in the spring, summer and fall semesters and will complete two courses. These courses are computed tomography equipment and methodology and sectional anatomy for medical imaging.
