title: The effects of biological motion on CT resolution.
abstract: A variety of periodic and aperiodic psyiologic motions affect the quality of CT images. This study was initiated to estimate what an optimal scan period should be in the design of CT units. Ultrashort scan periods were experimentally similated in the heart and liver to approximate the parameters of future technology.
