Go through middle entrance carrying type of scan for clinician (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doctor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'type of scan for clinician' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'go through middle entrance carrying' is the wordplay.
'go through middle' becomes 'ct' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'entrance' becomes 'door' (door is a kind of entrance).
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ct' inserted into 'door' is 'DOCTOR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
