More DescriptionNow in its thoroughly revised, updated Second Edition, this volume is a complete and practical guide to the latest techniques and clinical applications of spiral CT. The book explains the diagnostic capabilities and benefits of spiral CT and offers hands-on guidance on scanning protocols and image interpretation. Complementing the text are more than 1,100 illustrations, most of them new to this edition. The Second Edition's expanded coverage reflects the increasing use of spiral CT in clinical practice. New chapters describe the use of spiral CT in the pelvis, esophagus, and stomach, in the evaluation of thoracoabdominal trauma, and in biphasic examination of the liver and pancreas. The applications of subsecond spiral CT scanning are explained in detail, with a focus on three-dimensional volume rendering. Also included is a chapter on virtual reality applications of spiral CT.
