Despite the expected decline in the mid-1970s in the use of
computed tomography (CT) following the excitement of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), CT has confounded its detractors and
remains the imaging modality of choice, particularly for the chest
and abdomen. Spiral/helical CT with the development of
64-multislice variant has revolutionized diagnostic imaging: image
acquistion of large body volumes are obtained in short times during
a single-breath hold. Scanning protocols without contrast
enhancement are not a challenge; however, with intravenous contrast
agents, critical choices are made and bad choices inevitably
produce bad scans. This handy guide provides the reader with a
simple introduction to the essential ideas involved and a practical
guide to the implementation of rational scanning protocols for
multislice spiral instruments. Written by Peter Dawson, a
well-respected figure in computed tomography and radiology, and a
world expert on contrast agents, Scanning Protocols for Multislice
Helical Computed Tomography is an essential guide for all those
working with CT, as well as those in training.
