This video is intended as a tutorial, in which we give CT techs a detailed walkthrough of the entire process of conducting a chest CT without the use of contrast, using an actual, filmed exam. We cover every part of the procedure, guiding technologists through initial reception of a patient, patient positioning, protocol selection, placement of slices boxes, reconstruction filters, and the acquisition phase.
The objective of this video: Share knowledge and practices with rad techs.
