Multidetector CT (MDCT, multislice CT, multidetector-row CT, multisection CT) represents a
breakthrough in CT technology. It has transformed CT from an transaxial cross-sectional
technique into a true 3D imaging modality that allows for arbitrary cut planes as well as
excellent 3D displays of the data volume. Multislice CT scanners provide a huge gain in
performance that can be used to reduce scan time, to reduce section collimation, or to
increase scan length substantially. The following article will provide an overview of the …
