Current techniques of computed tomography. Helical CT, multidetector CT, and 3D reconstruction

Abstract

The many recent advances in CT technology have secured its position as the modality of choice in routine liver imaging and have improved its performance in several problem-solving applications. In addition, improvements in postprocessing software (e.g., in speed, efficiency, and automated algorithms) have increased their use in clinical practice. Multiplanar reformations, 3D renderings, and high-quality CT angiographic displays have become extremely valuable both in image interpretation and in communicating information to surgeons and referring physicians.
