Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Helical scanning in computed tomography (CT) refers to a technique where the scanning is continuous while the patient table moves through the gantry. This allows for the collection of data in a spiral or helical path, enabling faster imaging and the generation of more detailed images compared to traditional step-and-shoot methods.
