256-slice wide-detector computed tomography.
This article provides opinions and predictions about an emerging technology-256-slice wide-detector computed tomography-to help healthcare facilities decide whether the technology is worth tracking and when it might be ready for adoption. We believe 256-slice CT is worth monitoring based on its predicted clinical and business impact. We consider it unlikely, however, that more than a few select facilities will begin adopting this technology within the next three years.
