This book is aimed mainly at radiographers with a working
knowledge of computed tomography (CT), and its purpose
is to increase their knowledge base to enable them to confidently
play a proactive role in enhancing image production
and writing new protocols, while constantly working to
reduce radiation dose.
As CT hardware and software continues to evolve, its place
within the imaging department remains secure. The speed
and versatility of spiral CT has assured its role in radiology
for the foreseeable future, despite the impact of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) in certain areas, for example,
bony spinal tumours.
