Book Description
Despite technical advances using MR and the emergence of PET imaging, CT continues to be a frequently used imaging modality that has not stood still while others have thrived. Advances in CT have continued apace with other modalities which have taken CT into new areas of imaging that just a few short years ago it could not approach. With the advent of 64-slice CT, a greater number of images can be taken in a much quicker period of time. The use of CT perfusion in the brain and abdomen are reviewed in this issue. Cutting edge techniques such as 4D CT and dual energy CT will be discussed, as well as CT applications for imaging of the coronary arteries and cardiac valves.
Despite the availability of MDCT scanners for a decade, the technology remains in flux. In the recent past, 64-MDCT scanners were considered the top of the line equipments; however, several newinnovations inCTare nowavailable oremerging to embrace the patient care by using more detector rows (128-320 detector rows), new detector materials for higher sensitivity andultrafast energyswitching (Gemstone technology), two X-ray sources (dual-source CT), detectors with 2 layers to permit spectral analysis of the X-ray beam, and systems with flat-panel detectors (dynamic volume CT).
These exciting new opportunities available with MDCT would not have been feasible without focus and dedication of countless passionate physicians, scientists and engineers. We have a distinct privilege to introduce this issue of Radiologic Clinics of North America that focuses on these new or emerging technologies in MDCT. We are honoured that our panel of distinguished MDCT scientists have contributed articles to this issue in their respective area of expertise. We thank the Radiologic Clinics of North America for giving us this opportunity to present this interesting issue and also acknowledge the contribution of Barton Dudlick from Elsevier for his tremendous support on this project. We feel confident that this issue will enhance the reader’s knowledge of newer.
