Abstract
The latest evolutions in Computed Tomography (CT) technology have several applications in oncological imaging. The innovations in hardware and software allow for the optimization of the oncological protocol. Low-kV acquisitions are possible thanks to the new powerful tubes. Iterative reconstruction algorithms and artificial intelligence are helpful for the management of image noise during image reconstruction. Functional information is provided by spectral CT (dual-energy and photon counting CT) and perfusion CT.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI is directed to all physicians involved in the performance and interpretation of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging procedures. It is a timely source for the publication of new concepts and research findings directly applicable to day-to-day clinical practice. The articles describe the performance of various procedures together with the authors'' approach to problems of interpretation.
