By Stefan Ulzheimer, Thomas Flohr (auth.), Maximilian F. Reiser, C.R. Becker, Konstantin Nikolaou, Gary Glazer (eds.)

This 3rd revised variation of Multislice CT offers a finished replace at the most up-to-date advancements and tendencies within the software of this intriguing process. Following an preliminary part at the most vital technical facets and matters, specific info is equipped on a variety of diagnostic functions. Imaging of the top and neck, the cardiovascular procedure, and the lungs is roofed extensive, and a different part considers the appliance of multislice CT in quite a few tumors. Radiation publicity, CT angiography, dual-energy imaging, and interventions all obtain shut consciousness, and a last bankruptcy examines the function of multislice CT in trauma administration. various hugely skilled and recognized authors have contributed chapters from a variety of views, highlighting the probabilities provided by way of the main glossy multidetector CT structures. This ebook should be really beneficial for common clients of CT structures who desire to improve not just their machines but in addition their knowledge.

Biomechanical Systems Technology: Muscular Skeletal Systems

As a result of speedy advancements in computing device know-how and computational suggestions, advances in a large spectrum of applied sciences, coupled with cross-disciplinary targets among expertise and its software to human physique techniques, the sphere of biomechanics maintains to adapt. Many parts of vital development comprise dynamics of musculoskeletal platforms, mechanics of challenging and delicate tissues, mechanics of bone home improvement, mechanics of blood and ventilation, flow-prosthesis interfaces, mechanics of impression, dynamics of man-machine interplay, and extra.

Example text

Regardless of the number of X-ray tubes, the table feed must be sufficiently slow such that projection data of 180° gantry rotation are available for image reconstruction at all points in time and space even in patients with variable heart rate. Though radiation exposure can be markedly reduced by tube current modulation and use of a smaller safety window for variable heart rates, the principle of overlapping data acquisition in helical scanning and the ensuing higher radiation exposure remain.

The reconstruction filters (kernels) are the same for all four-scan modes, leading to a uniform image appearance when different modes are combined. All image data can be automatically or retrospectively sent to different network nodes (PCs, workstations, archives) in the conventional DICOM format; the new enhanced- CT DICOM format is also available, which is faster and requires less storage capacity. The low-contrast and high-contrast resolution of the 320-detector-row CT does not differ from the conventional 64-detector-row CT scan from the same manufacturer.
