The effect of pitch in multislice spiral/helical CT.
The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of pitch on raw data interpolation in multislice spiral/helical computed tomography (CT) and provide guidelines for scanner design and protocol optimization. Multislice spiral CT is mainly characterized by the three parameters: the number of detector arrays, the detector collimation, and the table increment per x-ray source rotation. The pit...
متن کاملDose and image quality comparison between prospectively gated axial and retrospectively gated helical coronary CT angiography.
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to compare image quality, coronary segment assessability and radiation dose in prospectively gated axial (PGA) coronary CT angiography (CTA) and conventional retrospectively gated helical (RGH) coronary CTA. METHODS Institutional review committee approval and informed consent were obtained. RGH CTA was performed in 41 consecutive patients (33 males, 8 females; mean age 5...
متن کاملEvaluation of patient dose and operator dose in swallowing CT studies performed with a 320-detector-row multislice CT scanner.
Recently, attempts to develop new types of swallowing function analysis with 320-detector-row multislice CT (320-MDCT) have been reported. The present report addresses (1) patient exposure, (2) operator exposure, and (3) spatial dose distribution. For dose measurement, a human-body phantom in which 303 thermoluminescent dosimeter elements were inserted and a survey meter was used. The patient p...
متن کاملPrinciples of CT: multislice CT.
This article describes the principles and evolution of multislice CT (MSCT), including conceptual differences associated with slice definition, cone beam effects, helical pitch, and helical scan technique. MSCT radiation dosimetry is described, and dose issues associated with MSCT-and with CT in general-as well as techniques for reducing patient radiation dose are discussed. Factors associated ...
متن کاملMeasurement of organ dose in chest CT examination using Monte Carlo simulation
Background: Exposure conditions in CT examinations are quite different from conventional Xray. In CT examination higher dose is given to patient in comparison with the dose in other diagnostic examinations. In order to calculate organ effective dose in chest CT, Monte Carlo simulation has been used in this study. Materials and Methods: The Impact survey data were used to determine the ...
