Since this is the modality I've worked in
for the past 18 years, I have listed the best of CT sites that I visit all the
time for research, and resources in the CT field. I hope in the future to add more articles,
features, and images to this page.
From the ASRT:
The ASRT
is committed to a five-year update/revision cycle for its various curricula
documents. The adoption process for the current ASRT Computed Tomography
Curriculum was completed by the ASRT Education and Computed Tomography
Committees in 2004. This sets a target of 2009 to complete the sequence of
curriculum review, revision, posting for community review and comment and
submission for formal adoption.
The first draft of the
ASRT Computed Tomography Curriculum containing proposed revisions is now
available for review and comment.

CT Study Group
Tammie's
CT Study Group
is well organized, easy to navigate, and highly
recommended for CT Techs who would like to share information, before
taking their CT boards. Tammie states:
"I developed the website and forum for two reasons, one
was to help me study, and two was to hopefully help others in the field
needing to take their exams. I am also pulling together small study
groups because not everyone likes to utilize computers and there are
many learning styles and techniques (and I need all the help I can get
LOL)".

Delusional Radiology
Welcome to Delusional Radiology. This site has
been established by papa bear, for the means of properly educating
people about medical radiology. Too many people have looked at
getting into the radiology field, and many times looked within the
field for advancement, and received incorrect or inaccurate
information. This is one of my ways of helping people in the field
achieve what they want to achieve, in the correct manner.
e-Anatomy.org
Interactive Atlas of Whole Body Cross-Sectional Imaging Anatomy -
To provide an e-Learning website about
sectional anatomy of human body, with interactive self-study and
assessment tools, based on more than 1500 MR and CT slices.
Heart and Coronary Arteries - Interactive Atlas of
Cross-Sectional Anatomy
e-anatomy web site. More than 1500 slices from normal CT and MR
exams were selected in order to cover the entire sectional anatomy
of human body. Images were labeled using Terminologia Anatomica. A
user-friendly interface allows to cine through multi-slice image
series combined with interactive textual information, 3D models and
anatomy drawings.
Lung, chest and mediastinum (CT) - Interactive Atlas of
Cross-Sectional Anatomy e-anatomy
web site. More than 1500 slices from normal CT and MR exams were
selected in order to cover the entire sectional anatomy of human
body. Images were labeled using Terminologia Anatomica. A
user-friendly interface allows to cine through multi-slice image

Gadolinium-Enhanced MDCT Angiography of the Abdomen: Feasibility and
Limitations OBJECTIVE. The purpose of
this study was to evaluate a protocol for
gadolinium-enhanced MDCT angiography of the abdomen and to identify technical parameters that optimize image quality.
CONCLUSION. The degree of enhancement and image quality
achieved using this gadolinium-enhanced MDCT angiography
appear adequate for angiographic evaluation of the
abdominal aorta and its major branches.
GE
Healthcare -VCT Series
Scan in Volumes-not Slices
The LightSpeed VCT Series groundbreaking technology opens the door
to new procedures while improving the imaging of existing ones.
Improved resolution, reduced acquisitions per study*, shorter
patient-breath-holds along with the platform's power to routinely
support faster coverage with submillimeter resolution, allow more
robust and repeatable studies. This is critical in emerging
procedures such as Coronary Angiographic studies.

Radiation Effective Dose From CT Scans This program uses parameterizations of data developed by Huda and
colleagues (see "References" below) to compute radiation effective
dose consequential to computed tomography examinations. "Effective
dose", as defined in ICRP Report Number 90, is an index (with units
of millirem) that reflects radiation detriment (risk).
The Anatomy Wiz is an Internet based anatomy
educational and reference tool. There are currently multiple modules
focused on ENT and musculoskeletal anatomy. Images are displayed and
scrolled in a manner similar to a radiology workstation. Several
features allow for very quick and easy identification of anatomical
structures. Each structure has an accompanying discussion and a list
of references. |
