title: [Presentation of the electron beam scanner (Imatron C100 scanner)].
abstract: Principles of Electron Beam CT are described and compared to conventional CT. Fast acquisitions and a short exposure time are the major qualities of the machine. Despite of a lower spatial resolution than in mechanical CT it allows exploration of moving organs and especially morphological and dynamic heart studies. The new possibilities of the Continuous Volume Scanning seems to present an promising future outlook.
