CT Basic Training
The onsite application training program is tailored for your staff in the use of your imaging system from GE
Healthcare to reach the highest image quality and performance. The program is based on years of experience of
our application specialists and GE customers in clinical practice worldwide. The success of training will depend on
the engagement of your staff and from careful preparation to create an optimal learning situation.

EMPTY How Do I Prepare My Department?
WWe advise that:
• Room construction should be complete and all necessary permits granted
• Emergency protocol and material should be functional
• System installation, calibration and performance testing is complete
• Open house visits and other staff training are not scheduled
• Instruction on ancillary equipment (Pump Injector/Colon Insufflator) is
completed
before system training
• Department routine is organized to minimize interruptions
• Physicians and other personnel who may need to be present at times during
the training are notified
• Imaging accessories, archive media and other supplies are available

EMPTY
EMPTY Special information for Cardiac training
If you have purchased the Cardiac options enabling you to acquire gated
cardiac studies, we strongly recommend that training on this aspect of CT is
not undertaken during the initial week of training.
It is better to plan and address Cardiac CT during a dedicated training session
once you are more familiar with the CT system, and when a number of suitable
patients can be scheduled.

EMPTY How Do I Prepare My Staff?
In order to facilitate the transfer of knowledge, it is important not to invite more
than 4 CT users to work with the application specialist throughout the entire
training program. The same 4 staff should be present for the duration of the
initial training. CPD accreditation is available for those that do attend for the
whole 4 days .

EMPTY Radiographer training on CT system
We advise that the radiographers selected should fulfill the following criteria:
Relevant previous experience on CT system
Good knowledge of CT anatomy
Willingness to learn through meeting new challenges
Ability to communicate skills to others
Understanding of department routines
From an operational standpoint your department will benefit most by selecting
those who will be primary operators of the system rather than those in a
supervisory/management role.
Comprehensive preparation for the training program is essential to its
success. Before training, selected personnel should:
• Ensure familiarity with relevant areas of technology and terminology through
reading
current literature
• Have their normal duties delegated for the training period

EMPTY Radiologists training in postprocessing on AW workstation
The Education Specialist can spend some time with the Radiologists to
introduce them to the Post processing tools on the Workstation, however
dedicated AW training  will be addressed on subsequent visits.

DAY 1
Technologists and Half-day – 2-3 Patients
physicians
Training will start with installation of protocols and network transfers.
The main physician must be there to prepare the validation of scan protocols.
Please refrain from booking patients for the first 2 to 3 hours. This will allow
time for an introduction to your CT:
• System accessories
• Gantry controls and safety features
• Operation of the Scanner Interface
• How to build Scan protocols and review scan parameters
For the rest of the afternoon book a range of simple examinations – for
example: Brain scan, High Resolution Chest, Sinuses, Standard Chest and
Abdomen examinations. Book these at 30-minute intervals.
Please note: if you wish to scan contrast enhanced examinations, please make
sure that you have previously received training on the Pump Injector (if you
have installed a new one along with the scanner).

DAY 2
Technologists and Full day - ~10 patients
physicians
Schedule a range of contrast and non-contrast examinations at 30-minute
intervals. Allow 1 hour during the day with no patients for training on other
aspects of the CT.

DAYS 3 and 4
Technologists and Full days - 10-15 patients per day
physicians
Book a range of more complicated examinations. This may include Angio
studies, Colonography, Perfusion or others depending upon your department
specialities. At your discretion, time may be spent training the basic
functionality of the workstation.
