ABSTRACT

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has diffused rapidly into clinical imaging practice in a short time. Major improvements in relation to single-detector CT are faster image acquisition, improved spatial and temporal resolution, increased concentration of intravascular contrast material, efficient X-ray tube use, and longer anatomic coverage. The multisection CT has enabled faster and superior evaluation of patients across a wide spectrum of clinical indications. Now, with the availability of multi-detector row CT, scanning protocols have become more complex owing to the larger number of interacting operator-defined parameters.
