Ct Scan Flashcards
Rotate/ translate, pencil beam
First generation
Parallel ray geometry
Only Two xray detectors were used
Rotate tanslate, narrow beam
Second generation
30 array of detectors
Rotate/rotate, wide fan beam
Third generation
800 detectors
Shorter than 5 secs
Rotate/ stationary
Fourth generation
4800 detectors
Was designed to overcome the problem of ring artifact
Fourth generation ct scan
Stationary/staitionary
Fifth generation
Cine ct
Electron beam scanners
Cine ct scanner
Fifth gen
Helical aka spiral
Sixth gen
Multiple detector array
Seventh gen
Artifacts in ct because rays from some projection angles are hardened to a differing extent than rays from other angles
Beam hardening
Blurring and larger physical displacements produce double images or image ghosting
Motion artifacts
