Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last three decades, the use of Computed Tomography (CT) has deeply changed the traditional paradigm of clinical diagnosis in Medicine, shifting from the classical physical point of view to a CT-guided approach. The impact of CT on morbidity, mortality, prognosis, costs and length of hospitalization has been tremendous in very different fields, including both emergency and non-emergency settings, improved cancer diagnosis, response to therapy, pre- and post-procedural assessment, helping preparation for surgeries or guiding the surgeons’ hands using a tailored operative or non-invasive approach. Advances in CT scan technology in recent years include reducing harmful radiation to patients and the development of iterative reconstruction, enabling for faster scan speed, as well as improved image quality and multiple post-processing possibilities. Actually, the increased speed of scanning enables physicians to provide more accurate diagnosis and better treatment for early or advanced coronary artery disease, which is a relatively new field of application of this technology. Spectral CT technology—also called dual-source or dual-energy CT—is actually becoming more and more relevant in clinical practice, thus creating contrast and non-contrast images from one single scan.
We welcome all colleagues to provide articles that explore modern CT technology from within their own fields.
