To become a CT (computed tomography) scan technologist, you typically need to complete an associate degree in radiologic technology, which usually takes about two years. Some programs may offer a certificate option that can take around one year, especially for those already holding a degree in a related field. After completing the education, you must also obtain certification and licensure, which may require passing a national exam. Overall, you can expect to invest about one to two years in formal education and training.

To determine if your cat is microchipped, you can take them to a veterinarian or animal shelter to have a scan done. This scan will detect if a microchip is present in your cat.
You do not have to stay home after a CAT scan. The procedure has no residual effects. After you leave the clinic or hospital, you can resume normal activities if you are otherwise healthy.
