Abstract
The implementation of 64-slice scanners allows for isotropic imaging with shortened acquisition time. Beam-hardening and spiral artifacts can be reduced by using sophisticated tube technology with so called double-z-sampling. The following article is meant to provide a brief overview concerning substantial changes as they could be witnessed in clinical routine using a 64-slice scanner, with special focus on CT-angiography in general and CT-angiography of the coronaries.
