Theresults showed that the 256-slice CT generates a smaller dose than the 16-slice CT in all examinations. For volumetric cine imaging, we found an acceptable scan time would be 6 s to 11 s, depending on examinations, if dose must be limited to the same values as routine examinations with a conventional multidetector CT.
Wepresent an evaluation of a recently introduced 64-slice CT (64SCT) system, which makes use of a periodic motion of the focal spot in the longitudinal direction (z-flying focal spot) to double the number of simultaneously acquired slices.OverviewA 128-slice dual source CT scanner (Fig. 1) is equipped with two x-ray tubes and two corresponding detectors, mounted onto the rotating gantry with an angular offset of 94°.
Whatis the difference between 64 slice and 128 slice CT Scanner? The 128-slices CT scanners have more rows of detectors, which means that these systems provide larger volume coverage and shorter examination times. This is very useful in cardiac studies. 2qRuaGX.
