Abstract
During the late 1980s and at the beginning of the 90s, fast CT (computed tomography) scanners with an examination time of less than 1 second, based on the slipring technology, were introduced into clinical practice. These scanners offered the opportunity to have continuous data acquisition over a multitude of 360° scans, and it seemed feasible that volume imaging could be obtained during one breathhold by the patient. This eliminated one of the disadvantages of conventional examinations, namely, the risk of patient motion between two scans.
