  2. Introduction • Basic principles of CT Imaging • How CT Imaging is used • Video • Clinical Applications • Sample Images

  3. How Does it Work? • Source/ Ring of Detectors - 4th Generation • Series of Projections • Back Projection Algorithm • Filtering Techniques • Film and Digital Images Produced • On a Side Note….Price (I.e. Cheaper than MRI, more expensive than X-Ray)

  4. Typical CT Setup http://towerimaging.com/ctscnr.htm

  5. How do we use it? • Patient Positioning • Contrast Agents • Safety Concerns • Number of operators • Time for procedure • Clean-up

  6. VIDEO

  7. Clinical Applications • Trauma • Soft tissue differentiation • Spatial Information

  8. Cool Images • Abdomen1 • Lower Extremity1 1. http://www.vh.org

  9. Advantages/ Disadvantages • Advantages • Soft Tissue Resolution • Cheaper and Faster than MRI • Disadvantages • Ionizing Radiation • Not portable

  10. Future of CT • 3D Reconstructions • Electron Beam CT • No moving parts

  11. Any Questions? • A Special Thanks to our sponsor Tina Herron and her assistant Jerry :)
