title: Spiral computed tomography: principles and clinical use.
abstract: Spiral computed tomography (CT) has been the major advance in CT in the 1990s. Its high speed and the three-dimensional nature of the obtained data sets has considerably improved the clinical performance of CT in many areas. Furthermore it has led to new applications such as CT angiography and virtual endoscopy.
