Multislice CT: A Practical Guide

Abstract

With the advent of slip ring technology, continuous rotation of the measurement system and continuous data acquisition became possible. Together with continuous table motion during data acquisition, spiral imaging development and introduction into clinical practice in the early 1990s was made possible [1, 2].
