Abstract:
The dual source computed tomography (DSCT) is equipped with two corresponding detectors. DSCT scanners combine high spatial resolution with a considerably increased temporal resolution of 83 milliseconds to image the heart and vascular with reliably good image quality even without heart rate control. DSCT has proven its reliability in providing quality information for both function and morphology of the heart. Emergence of DSCT made CT coronary artery visualization easier and more robust. It has a brilliant practical future.
