This article details multislice computed tomography (CT) of the brain, covering routine scans, advanced reconstructions, and new techniques like cerebral perfusion scanning and CT arteriography. It highlights helical versus non-helical methods and discusses applications for current and future CT scanner technology.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology and Medical Imaging
  • Neurological Imaging

Background:

  • Multislice CT (MSCT) technology has advanced rapidly, offering improved imaging capabilities for the brain.
  • Routine brain CT scans benefit from enhanced speed and resolution, enabling detailed multiplanar reconstructions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the applications of multislice CT for brain imaging.
  • To describe recent developments in cerebral perfusion scanning and CT arteriography.
  • To present the University Hospital of Wales' approach to MSCT imaging, differentiating helical and non-helical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing multislice CT scanners (primarily 16-slice, applicable to 4- and 8-slice) for brain imaging.
  • Employing high-speed and high-resolution multiplanar reconstructions.
