High-resolution computed tomography

This paper investigates high-resolution reconstructions from eeciently sampled data in parallel-beam tomography, in particular local tomography. A class of sampling schemes is deened and characterized, and it is shown that the standard scheme and the interlaced scheme of Cormack are most promising. An error analysis for the ltered backprojection algorithm for both global and local tomography is...

Computed tomography and thin-section tomography in facial trauma.

The efficacy of radiographic methods in detecting and classifying facial fractures was assessed. Thirty-one patients with maxillofacial trauma were studied with plain radiography, coronal and lateral pluridirectional tomography (PT), and axial and direct coronal computed tomography (CT). PT and CT were compared to assess how many fractures each method could demonstrate. In addition, plain films...

The results of serial dynamic enhanced computed tomography in patients with carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas.

PURPOSE To assess serial dynamic enhanced computed tomography (serial DE-CT) as a diagnostic tool for carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF). METHODS Serial DE-CT was performed in seven patients (ages 31-74) with CCF. Contrast material was injected intravenously at a dose of 60 mL with an injection speed of 4 mL per second. Serial axial images of the cavernous sinus were undertaken every 3 sec...
