Prototype Ultrahigh-Resolution Computed Tomography for Chest Imaging: Initial Human Experience.

abstract：:We evaluated the feasibility of angiographic computed tomography (ACT) for diagnostic imaging in a patient with degenerative lumbar spine disease. ACT provides a volume data set out of a rotational acquisition with a c-arm-mounted flat-panel detector. Using this technique, radiographic myelography and myelographic com...
