Multidetector CT: what do we do with all the images generated?
Multidetector spiral CT technology generates much more acquisition data than the previous generation of single detector spiral CT machines, and permits more sophisticated and better quality post-processing options, which in turn generate even more imaging data. Such large quantities of data have repercussions upon the mode of image interpretation (hard copy vs soft copy), the speed of data transmission and the storage of these data.
