Dose exposure of patients undergoing comprehensive stroke imaging by multidetector-row CT: comparison of 320-detector row and 64-detector row CT scanners.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently introduced 320-detector row CT enables whole brain perfusion imaging compared to a limited scanning area in 64-detector row CT. Our aim was to evaluate patient radiation exposure in comprehensive stroke imaging by using multidetector row CT consisting of standard CT of the head, CTA of cerebral and cervical vessels, and CTP. MATERIAL AND METHODS Organ doses wer...
متن کاملComparison of capability of abdominal 320-detector row CT and of 16-detector row CT for small vasculature assessment.
The purpose of our study was to compare the capability of the 320-detector row CT (area-detector CT: ADCT) using the step-and-shoot scan protocol for small abdominal vasculature assessment with that of the 16-detector row CT using the helical scan protocol. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT for preoperative assessment was administered to 25 patients, 18 of whom, suspected of having lung cancer, un...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of a 320 detector row CT scanner unit
BACKGROUND The technologic improvements in Multislice scanners include the increment in the X-ray beam width. Some new CT scanners are equipped with a 320 detector row which allows a longitudinal coverage of 160 mm and a total of 640 slices for a single rotation. When such parameters are used the length of the traditional pencil chamber (10 cm) is no more appropriate to measure the standard wei...
متن کاملCancerogenesis Risks between 64 and 320 Row Detector CT for Coronary CTA Screening
OBJECTIVES This study compares cancerogenesis risks posed by the 64 row detector and the 320 row detector computed tomography scanners used during coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) following decennial screening guidelines. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data of the radiation absorbed after CCTA by lung, thyroid, and female breast in patients between 50 and 70 years of age obtained from pr...
متن کاملSlice wars vs dose wars in multiple-row detector CT.
he short answer is yes. At this oint in time, it seems that the soalled slice wars with regard to the umber of slices provided per comuted tomographic (CT) gantry roation may be reaching a plateau. At he same time, increasing concerns bout radiation dose due to CT exminations are fueling the efforts to educe radiation dose and leading o the beginning of the so-called ose wars. Since 1998, there...
