Increased speed has resulted in less motion artifact (ie, improved temporal resolution) and,
therefore, less need for sedation. A single-pass whole-body protocol is faster than the …

Musculoskeletal imaging relies primarily on plain films and MRI diagnosis, although the use
of high-resolution ultrasound is increasing. The use of CT has increased with the …

Multichannel computed tomography (MCCT) has created a technical revolution in CT
scanning. Following the introduction of single-channel helical scanning in 1989, 4-channel …

OBJECTIVE. This study tests various acquisition and reconstruction protocols for MDCT of
the wrist to determine the optimal protocol for obtaining diagnostic image quality with …

Indications for computed tomography (CT) of the musculoskeletal system, especially with the
advent of 16-slice multidetector CT (MDCT), are numerous. In addition to the evaluation of …

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has improved our ability to image patients with
skeletal trauma. The chief advantages of this technology include the extremely rapid scan …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a central role in the modern imaging of
musculoskeletal disorders, due to its ability to produce multiplanar images and characterise …

Multichannel computed tomography (MCCT) allows for rapid, thin slice acquisition and the
ability to generate high mAs. This combination of features makes the modality ideal for …

This article discusses the indications for CT in the management of acute fractures and
postoperative complications related to orthopedic procedures. The current clinical use of CT …

Multichannel computed tomography (MCCT) can produce extremely thin, overlapping slices.
This capability allows for the acquisition of essentially isotropic data sets. These isotropic …
