The increase in radiation exposure due to CT scans has been of growing concern in recent
years. CT scanners differ in their capabilities, and various indications require unique …

High-end CT systems allow acquisition of isotropic volumetric data sets that permit high
quality reformatted images and images with less than 1 mm slice thickness. These …

Over the past three decades, computed tomography (CT) has proven to be central in
imaging evaluation. Multidetector technology continues to drive practice patterns by …

Written by the chief physicist at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, this easy-to-read short
textbook explains the physics behind multi-detector CT technology, particularly newer, more …

Computed tomography (CT) technology has changed considerably in recent years with the
introduction of increasing numbers of multiple detector arrays. There are several parameters …

In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of computed tomography
(CT), leading to an increase in the collective amount of radiation applied to patients. This …

Increasing concerns about radiation dose have led CT manufacturers to further develop
radiation dose reduction tools in the latest generation of CT scanners. These tools include …
