Riassunto

A partire dalla sua introduzione — avvenuta nel lontano 1972 — la TC ha registrato un progressivo sviluppo della propria tecnologia e delle applicazioni in ambito medico, resistendo alla concorrenza di altre metodiche diagnostiche introdotte successivamente, quali l’ecografia e la risonanza magnetica. Negli anni Ottanta, infatti, lo sviluppo di queste ultime due metodiche indusse numerosi studiosi a preconizzare “la morte della TC”, senza attribuire particolare importanza alle trasformazioni già in atto nella TC, come l’introduzione della tecnologia slip ring. In realtà, l’enorme avanzamento tecnologico della TC nell’ultimo ventennio dimostra chiaramente che si tratta di una metodica di imaging in piena salute, che rappresenta uno dei capisaldi della moderna diagnostica per immagini [1].
