Advances in CT II

Significant development made in the Siemens CT scannerSOMATOM PLUS have opened new possibilities for diagnosticimaging in computed tomography. Spiral CT with a continouslyrotating X-ray tube and synchronous table increments for upto 60 cm in less than half a minute make radiologicaldiagnosis more accurate. Blind gaps are no longer a majorproblem, and all structures, especially in the lungs, can beidentified and diagnosed. The practical experience of an expert groupof clinicalresearchers and physicists is now made available in thisbook.
