A spiral CT is a new technology, it refers to the way the xrays are emitted. The tube that produces the xrays is paralell with a receiver on the opposite side of the opening in the CT machine. To take the image, the tube and receiver are circling as it is doing this the bed is moving into the opening. This combination creates a spiral movement around your body. This new technology allows for a quicker scan and reduced radiation dose while not sacrificing the image quality.

What is a spiral CT?
Spiral CT, also called helical CT, is a newer version of CT scanning that is continuous in motion and allows for three-dimensional re-creation of images
How does a spiral CT compare to a traditional CT?
major advantage of spiral CT is higher resolution and the ability to reconstruct images anywhere along the length.Although spiral is more advantageous for many applications, conventional CT is still a superior and precise method for imaging many tissues.
What is the difference between a ct scan and a spiral ct scan?
No difference. CT machines used to take a single 'slice' at a time. Now they take a 'spiral' image whilst the patient moves through them and the 'slices' are created afterwards by the machine's software. When the multi-slice CT machines came along, people started referring to them as 'spiral CT' to differentiate from the older machines. All CTs these days are 'spiral'.
What are 3 screening tests for cancer?
endoscopy, examining cells, ultrasoun and ct scaning
What is the newest form of computed tomography scan?
Spiral CT, also called helical CT, is a newer version of CT scanning which is continuous in motion and allows for three-dimensional recreation of images.
What are the advantages of spiral computed tomography scans?
Spiral computed tomography scans provide detailed 3D images of internal structures, allowing for better visualization of organs and tissues. They are faster than traditional CT scans, reducing patient exposure to radiation and improving overall scan efficiency. Spiral CT scans are also helpful in diagnosing a wide range of conditions, such as tumors, blood vessel abnormalities, and infections.
Where is Hi-Q spiral ct scan and specialty clinic in quezon city?
Malakas Street, Diliman, Quezon CIty. It is At the back of Philippine Heart Center
What specifically is ablation?
Radio Frequency ablation is a medical procedure used to treat tumors. This is done in conjunctin with something like x-ray screening, CT scans, or ultrasounds.
What is macro screening and micro screening?
mikro screening
What shape does an spiral galaxy have?
First of all, it's a spiral galaxy, not an spiral galaxy. Second, a spiral galaxy would have a spiral shape, obviously.
What shape describes some bacterial cell?
Spiral
What is macro-screening?
