Significant development made in the Siemens CT scanner
SOMATOM PLUS have opened new possibilities for diagnostic
imaging in computed tomography. Spiral CT with a continously
rotating X-ray tube and synchronous table increments for up
to 60 cm in less than half a minute make radiological
diagnosis more accurate. Blind gaps are no longer a major
problem, and all structures, especially in the lungs, can be
identified and diagnosed.
The practical experience of an expert groupof clinical
researchers and physicists is now made available in this
book.
