About
Darlene Chuva, RT (R, CT) is Senior CT Technologist at PLC's Princeton headquarters. She earned an AAS in Radiologic Technology from Brookdale Community College and holds ARRT registration in Radiography plus post-primary CT certification. Her role supports the imaging-heavy side of the PLC Exam, including cardiac CT with calcium scoring, Cardiac CTA, carotid CT, Full Body CT, and virtual CT colonoscopy when those studies are part of a patient's package.
What to Know
Signature approach
Chuva's work is precise image acquisition. Patient positioning, breath-hold coaching, contrast timing, and scanner execution have to be clean before a physician can interpret same-day CT results. In PLC's model, the technologist role is not decorative; it is one of the operational pieces that makes fast, reliable imaging review possible.
What sets them apart
- Senior CT role at the flagship. Princeton is PLC's headquarters and original clinical center.
- ARRT CT credential. Post-primary CT certification separates this role from general radiography.
- Central to same-day imaging. Cardiac CT, CTA, full-body CT, and virtual colonoscopy depend on strong acquisition before interpretation.
