Title :
Whole body imaging with dynamic volume 320-row CT
Author_Institution :
Toshiba Med. Syst. Eur., Netherlands
Abstract :
State of the art of CT technology will be presented. It has a z-coverage of 16cm to cover most of the organs in one single, non-helical, rotation. Whole body imaging using different scan methods will be presented, and a comparison in terms of scan time with helical scan mode will be discussed.
