3-D Post-processing: Principles and Practical Applications.

Computed tomography (CT) has evolved considerably since its introduction more than three decades ago. In 1998, multi-detector row CT (MDCT) technology provided a key breakthrough in the field of radiology. Today, MDCT scanners enable the rapid acquisition of an exceptional number of thin sections during multiple phases of contrast enhancement. The increasing spatial and temporal resolutions have allowed major improvements to be made in differentiating and characterizing normal and abnormal structures and processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
