Computed tomographic (CT) angiography has been improved significantly with the introduction
of four- to 64-section spiral CT scanners, which offer rapid acquisition of isotropic data …

The advent of computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized radiology, and this revolution
is still going on. Starting as a pure head scanner, modern CT systems are now able to …

The advent of computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized radiology. Starting as head-only
scanners, modern CT systems are now capable of performing whole-body examinations …

Gout is characterized by an acute inflammatory reaction and the accumulation of neutrophils
in response to monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. Inflammation resolves spontaneously …

Aims We evaluated the feasibility and image quality of a new scan mode for coronary computed
tomography angiography (CTA) with an effective dose of less than 1 mSv. Methods and …

Purpose: While modern clinical CT scanners under normal circumstances produce high
quality images, severe artifacts degrade the image quality and the diagnostic value if metal …

This study investigated the potential of attenuation-based on-line modulation of tube current
to reduce the dose of computed tomography (in milliamperes) without loss in image quality. …

Purpose : The problem of metal artifact reduction (MAR) is almost as old as the clinical use
of computed tomography itself. When metal implants are present in the field of measurement, …

Coronary CT angiography allows high-quality imaging of the coronary arteries when state-of-the-art
CT systems are used. However, radiation exposure has been a concern. We …

… We want to calibrate the material decomposition for a VNC image (m = 1) and an iodine
image (m = 2), ie, M = 2. Water is therefore mapped to g 1 = 1 and g 2 = 0, and the iodine …
