EDITORIAL INFORMATION

This book gives a comprehensive and user-friendly description of the theoretical and technical system fundamentals of computed tomography (CT) for a wide readership, from conventional single-slice acquisitions to volume acquisition with Multislice CT.

It covers in detail all characteristic parameters relevant for image quality and all performance features significant for clinical application. Readers will thus be informed how to use a CT system to an optimum depending on the different diagnostic requirements. This includes a detailed discussion about the dose required and about dose measurements as well as how to reduce dose in CT. All considerations pay special attention to Spiral CT. The enclosed CD-ROM offers attractive case studies, animations and interactive exercises for image viewing and manipulation. This book is intended for all those who work daily, regularly or even only occasionally with CT: doctors, radiographers, engineers, technicians and physicists. A glossary describes all the important technical terms in alphabetical order.
