Abstract
The lecture will cover recent technological developments relating to scanner mechanics, x-ray sources, and detector systems, but also to new designs such as C-arm-CT and micro-CT systems. The introduction of dual-source CT (DSCT) systems, which host two complete measurement systems and offer effective scan times of down to less than 100 ms, will be a particular focus. In the second part new applications such as cardiac CT, dual energy CT and navigated interventions will be discussed.
