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 is a Spiral CT Screening?

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 are the advantages of spiral computed tomography scans?

A major advantage of spiral CT is the ability to reconstruct images anywhere along the length of the study area. The procedure also speeds up the imaging process, meaning less time for the patient to lie still.
