[Multislice CT--neuroradiological applications].
Invention of helical scan had introduced the concept of volumetric imaging. Ratest 64-rows multislice CT has made it possible to obtain high quality 3D CT angiography images in few seconds. In addition to morphological images of CNS (central nervous system), multislice CT provides functional information such as cerebral perfusion. Further advancement has been anticipated by the introduction of 256-rows area detector CT. Numbers of new applications such as dynamic 3D CT angiography, 3D CT-DSA (digital subtraction angiography), whole brain CT perfusion are expected to be in clinical use by area detector CT.
