What is a CT scanner and how does it work?
Computed Tomography (CT) is an imaging modality that utilizes X-ray revolving around a center axis to detect and map location of particles as they pass through the anatomy and enter detector modules. During the CT scan, a computer reconstructs a digital rendition showing water, bone, and different densities in the anatomy that can be read by a radiologist to diagnose medical conditions.
Computed Tomography imaging is at the forefront of technological innovation. Improving patient care and patient experience have been the main drivers for innovation in the field. New designs in detector modules allow for higher accuracy imaging with a lower dose and faster scan times. Improvements in the reconstruction computers and the algorithms that power them allow for faster reconstruction speeds and overall shorter CT exam times.
