Volumetric cine imaging for cardiovascular circulation using prototype 256-detector row computed tomography scanner (4-dimensional computed tomography ) : A preliminary study with a porcine model
Summary: This is a preliminary demonstration of volumetric cineimaging of cardiovascular circulation in domestic pigs using a prototype256–detector row computed tomography (CT) scanner. The scanrange is approximately 120 mm in the craniocaudal direction, witha 0.5-mm slice thickness. The thin sections can be used to create cineloops in multiple planes. Thus, the 256–detector row CT scanner overcomessome of the limitations of present helical CT methods
