… ) and later in an excellent text book by this journal’s editor (Webb 1990); a recent review
of CT basics and its development from the first decade until today can be found in (Kalender …

Iterative reconstruction (IR) methods have recently re-emerged in transmission x-ray computed
tomography (CT). They were successfully used in the early years of CT, but given up …

… The same statement holds for the weighted CTDI w , which is defined as CTDI w =1/3·CTDI
c +2/3·CTDI p , where c and p denote central and peripheral positions in the phantom. …

Continuous computed tomographic (CT) scanning of organ volumes during a single breath
hold was studied. The authors modified the table feed mechanism of a continuously rotating …

… Kalender, born in 1949, studied physics and medical physics in Bonn, Germany, and at the
University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin. Active from 1979 to 1995, ie for exactly 16 years…

Background—Multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) with retrospectively ECG-gated
image reconstruction permits coronary artery visualization. We investigated the method’s …

Background—We investigated the applicability and image quality of contrast-enhanced
coronary artery visualization by multislice spiral CT using retrospective ECG gating. Methods …

… equal to CTDI w . Table 4 gives the values of normalized measured CTDI w as a function of
… For the head and neck regions, the DLP was computed from the CTDI w measured in the 16-…

A technique to reduce metallic implant artifacts on computed tomography scans is presented.
The implant boundaries are determined semiautomatically; the missing projection data are …

We report the evaluation of a prototype dual‐energy implementation using rapid kVp switching
on a clinical computed tomographic scanner. The method employs prereconstruction …
