SINGLE vs MULTI

CT EVOLUTION

1998 MULTISLICE CT SCANNERS INTRODUCED AT RSNA MEETING

SINGLE SLICE CT LIMITATIONS SPEED PERFORMANCE 3D,MPR,MIP Z-AXIS RESOLUTION MPR LOW ACCURACY 360 LIA ( IMAGE QUALITY & ARTIFACTS) CT ANGIO LIMITATIONS MORE INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST

SLICE THICKNESS IN SINGLE SLICE CT DETERMINED BY: PITCH PRE-PATIENT COLLIMATION

MULTISLICE CT COLLIMATION BEAM FALLS ON THE ENTIRE MULTIROW DETECTOR ARRAY 8 MM WIDE BEAM FALLING ON FOUR DCETECTORS CAN PRODUCE: 4 –2MM SLICES

BEAM GEOMETRY SINGLE SLICE SPIRAL MULTISLICE FAN CONE

BEAM GEOMETRY AS THE NUMBER OF DETECTORS IN A MULTIROW DETECTOR ARRAY INCREASES THE BEAM BECOMES WIDER TO COVER THE 2D DETECTOr ARRAY. LARGER # OF ROWS IN THE DETECTOR ARRAY WILL RESULT IN A WIDER BEAM IN Z-AXIS DIRECTION ( CONE BEAM)

POST DETECTOR COLLIMATION IN MULTISLICE CT THE COLLIMATORS ARE POSITIONED BETWEEN DETECTOR COLUMNS.

IMAGE RECON IN MULTI SLICE CT SPECIAL FAN BEAM RECON ALGORITHMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED

INSTRUMENTATION

DAS ALMOST ALL MULTISLICE CT SCANNERS ARE BASED ON III GENERATION SYSTEM DESIGN ROTATE-ROTATE

GENERATOR HIGH FREQUENCY GENERATOR 60 KW OUTPUT.

X-RAY TUBE ROTATING ANODE TUBE WITH VERY HIGH HEAT CAPACITY
