Book Abstract
Clinical Applications of Advanced CT Imaging explores the evolving scope of computed tomography (CT) in modern medicine, showcasing its transition from conventional anatomical imaging to sophisticated diagnostic and interventional applications. Designed for radiographers, technologists, physicians, and imaging scientists, the volume integrates technological innovation, clinical protocol design, and best practices.
Offering an integrative and future-ready perspective, Clinical Applications of Advanced CT Imaging is a vital resource for imaging professionals. It bridges hardware fundamentals, advanced imaging applications, patient-centered protocols, and evolving educational needs?all while anticipating next-gen modalities that will redefine CT's role in diagnosis and intervention.
The text begins by outlining CT systems (fan-beam, cone-beam, multidetector), performance metrics, dose optimization, and image quality assurance. It then advances to modern innovations?spectral and dual energy CT, photon counting detectors, and iterative reconstruction methods?highlighting their role in enhancing contrast, enabling material differentiation, and reducing artifacts.
