What does a CT technologist do?
CT technologists, also called CT techs or computed tomography technologists, are allied health professionals who operate computed tomography (CT) scanning equipment to produce detailed cross-sectional images of patients' bodies. These images help physicians diagnose injuries, diseases, and medical conditions ranging from cancer and internal bleeding to musculoskeletal disorders.
Core responsibilities of a CT tech include:
- Preparing and positioning patients for CT scans, including explaining procedures and addressing patient concerns
- Operating CT imaging equipment and adjusting technical settings to produce clear, diagnostic-quality images
- Administering contrast agents (dye) intravenously when required and monitoring patients for adverse reactions
- Reviewing images for quality and ensuring they meet the radiologist's diagnostic requirements
- Maintaining and calibrating CT equipment in line with radiation safety standards
- Documenting procedures accurately and communicating findings to the supervising radiologist
- Working across settings including hospitals, outpatient imaging centers, trauma centers, and specialized clinics
What are CT tech requirements and certifications?
Most CT tech jobs require the following qualifications:
- An associate's or bachelor's degree in radiologic technology or a related imaging field from an accredited program
- ARRT certification in Radiography (R) — required by most facilities as a baseline
- ARRT post-primary certification in Computed Tomography (CT) — the key specialist credential for CT roles
- Current state licensure (requirements vary by state — your Favorite recruiter can advise)
- Basic Life Support (BLS) / CPR certification
Additional credentials that can increase your earning potential:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) certification — valuable for techs who want to cross-train
- Fluoroscopy certification (required in some states)
- Experience with multi-slice CT, cardiac CT, or CT angiography is frequently preferred by high-acuity facilities
