Since this is the modality
I've worked in for the past 20 years, I have listed the best 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.
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 New
CTISUS.
After a three-month long evaluation of current design trends
and internet best practices, design work on the new
CTisus.com began.
Fifteen-hundred hours of thoughtful user-interface development later, the
framework for the most intuitive, socially-centric medical education website was
born.
In the new CTisus.com,
navigational options were consolidated into a clear, five-item menu that remains
consistent throughout the website.
With a less cluttered look that features expanded content and enhanced
readability, the new site consistently focuses upon the most recently-added
content, eliminating the need to browse through pages of material to find out
the latest advancements in diagnostic imaging.
The transformed website will continue to deliver world-class,
state-of-the-practice medical imaging content to radiologic technologists and
other allied healthcare professionals who access the site daily from more than
100 countries. Dr. Elliot K Fishman author.
New

the Fish" is up! Ask a question related to the practice of
CT and Dr. Elliot K. Fishman, MD, will answer it.
Patients: Please consult with your doctor, and DO NOT post patient questions in
this forum.

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.

GE
Healthcare -VCT SeriesScan 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.

A new CT generation takes shape: thinking outside the circle By Greg Freiherr | April 16, 2010
Radiation Effective Dose From CT ScansThis 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).

Radiology, and Vice Chair of the Department of Radiology at
University of Washington Medical Center.
The
CT Anatomy Tutor, from Wayne State University, This
program is designed for teaching clinically relevant CT anatomy of
the entire body. This is not a comprehensive guide for learning CT
anatomy. The focus of this program is on specific structures which
are readily seen on CT images but often are not well described in CT
atlases. It is specifically oriented to structures that have
clinical relevance. There are three sections to this program. The
first section is in a quiz format where structures are shown in the
brain, head and neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, and the upper and
lower extremities. The second section is a series of tutorials that
describe how to identify structures in regions with complex anatomy
or structures that have special characteristics that can be used to
identify other structures. The third section consists of a glossary
of anatomic terms with links to structures identified in the first
two sections.
Images in this program are primarily 2.5 to 3 mm axial sections of
normal CT scans with relevant sagittal and coronal reconstructions. 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.
UK CT Users
Group We are a group for people with an interest in medical
CT scanning. Our main aim is to share experience and knowledge
relating to CT scanning with each other, as well as to provide an
educational forum. We formed in 1999, and are mainly hospital
physicists, but we also count radiographers and radiologists amongst
our number. Our main forum occurs during our meetings, which are
organized approximately once per year. These are informal, and
involve presentations and discussion sessions, with an emphasis on
sharing experience and knowledge.
From

The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) What is The Cancer Imaging Archive?
A large archive of medical images of cancer
accessible for public download. Registering is

format. The images are organized as
"Collections", typically patients related by a
common disease (e.g. lung cancer), image
modality (MRI, CT, etc) or research focus.
X-ray Risk This site provides information for patients and health care providers to
facilitate well-informed discussions about the increased risk of cancer from

to inform its readers that a new subject section dedicated to
musculoskeletal radiology has been
launched on the website.This new section complements the already existing anatomical
sections, specifically: abdomen and pelvis; brain, head and neck;
chest and cardiovascular.
New content in the musculoskeletal section includes recent
literature and clinical cases regarding the use of multidetector CT
for imaging pathologies of the bones, joints and muscles. This
information on the musculoskeletal applications of CT will be
particularly relevant to clinicians who deal with trauma, neoplastic
and degenerative diseases, anatomic abnormalities, and orthopedic
implants.
