Ultra Helical Scanning – Fast Acquisition of CT Images
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Since the introduction of clinical CT great improvements in scan time, patient comfort and resolution have been made. The first clinical CT scanner dates from 1972 and was developed by Godfrey Hounsfield. It required an acquisition time of 5 minutes and reconstruction of one image took 7 minutes . In the following years CT systems improved rapidly and by 1976 acquisition time for one CT image had decreased to 5 seconds with a reconstruction time of 40 seconds .

Fast Variance Prediction for Iterative Reconstruction of 3D Helical CT Images
Fast variance prediction for iteratively-reconstructed helical CT images is useful for analysis of resulting images and potentially for dynamic dose adjustment during a scan. Previous methods require impractical computation times to approximate the image variance; other methods are able to approximate variance quickly but only for specific CT geometries, excluding 3D helical CT. In this paper w...
متن کاملoving Beam Helical CT Scanning
Images generated with helical scanning are degraded by partial volume artifacts caused by an increased slice thickness when compared to conventional computed tomography (CT) scanning. The slice thickness for a helical scan is proportional to the sum of the thickness of the fan of radiation and the distance the patient moves during data acquisition. We present a method called moving beam helical...
متن کاملNoninvasive detection of coronary artery stenosis by multislice helical computed tomography.
Noninvasive detection of coronary artery stenosis with noninvasive imaging modalities (electron beam CT, MR angiography) has recently emerged. The use of helical CT in the visualization of epicardial coronary arteries is limited by cardiac motion artifacts due to long acquisition times and lack of an ECG trigger and is therefore reliable only in the determination of coronary graft patency. With...
