CT scanning permitting data that can easily be reformatted to produce multiplanes (coronal and sagittal)is accomplished by
A) high-resolution scans
B) conventional scans
C) helical scanning
D) single-scan protocols

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spiral (helical)scanning is the technique where continual CT scanning is performed as the patient moves through the gantry (unlike the multiple single scans in conventional CT).This permits much faster scanning without respiratory motion and provides data that can be easily reformatted in coronal and sagittal planes.
