Spiral/helical CT with the development of 64-multislice variant has revolutionized diagnostic imaging by allowing image acquistion of large body volumes during a single-breath hold. This handy guide provides 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 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.
