Abstract
Dynamic volume CT is another milestone in the development of CT technology. The use of wide detectors will most probably impact a number of clinical applications and has the potential to significantly reduce radiation exposure. Dynamic scanning of organs and organ regions and postprocessing evaluation of the data open up new clinical applications and pose new challenges to programmers and radiologists alike. What remains to be determined is how the display of function and the calculation of organ and tumor perfusion with powerful computers will actually translate into clinical benefits for the patient.
