متن کاملMultislice CT: Current Technology and Future Developments
Since its introduction in the early 1970s, computed tomography (CT) has undergone tremendous improvements in terms of technology, performance and clinical applications. Based on the historic evolution of CT and basic CT physics, this chapter describes the status quo of the technology and tries to anticipate future developments. Besides the description of key components of CT systems, a special ...
متن کاملDual-energy CT imaging of thoracic malignancies
Computed tomography (CT) plays a pivotal role in the detection, characterization, and staging of lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies. Since the introduction of clinically viable dual-energy CT techniques, substantial evidence has accumulated on the use of this modality for imaging chest malignancies. This article describes the principles of dual-energy CT along with suitable image acqui...
متن کاملDual‐energy CT in gout – A review of current concepts and applications
Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is a relatively recent development in the imaging of gouty arthritis. Its availability and usage have become increasingly widespread in recent years. DECT is a non-invasive method for the visualisation, characterisation and quantification of monosodium urate crystal deposits which aids the clinician in the early diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of this c...
متن کاملComputed tomography based attenuation correction in PET/CT: Principles, instrumentation, protocols, artifacts and future trends
The advent of dual-modality PET/CT imaging has revolutionized the practice of clinical oncology, cardiology and neurology by improving lesions localization and the possibility of accurate quantitative analysis. In addition, the use of CT images for CT-based attenuation correction (CTAC) allows to decrease the overall scanning time and to create a noise-free attenuat...
