Full Description
Multislice technology has made it possible to investigate large sections of the human body in a very short time. The 4- and 16-row systems currently available necessitate the use of new protocols, which are proposed herein. In a convenient double-page layout, this book provides structured information on all routine protocols to be used for multislice CT. The volume covers all investigations of the brain, neck, lung and chest, abdomen and the periphery, as well as special protocols for the heart, for CT angiography and for CT-guided interventions. Each protocol is displayed en bloc, enabling rapid appreciation of the scanner settings and the indications.
