Advances in CT II [electronic resource] : 2nd European Scientific User Conference SOMATOM PLUS, Berlin, March 1992 / edited by R. Felix, M. Langer

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.
