title: Early clinical experience with the ACTA scanner.
abstract: An alternative method of computed tomography has been devised employing a new instrument, the ACTA scanner. This is a total-body scanner which permits study of virtually all body parts, since a water medium is not employed. Early clinical experience with this new method is discussed, and normal and pathological scans are presented.
