Abstract:
Computed tomography (CT) seems to be a favorable method in diagnostic workup of patients. Multidetector (MD) CT technology has allowed joining of a rapid time examination to dynamic study after intravenous contrast medium administration; wide information regarding the status of the vessels as well as of the parenchymal organs could be received from the image analysis. Is the destiny of the MDCT same as that of conventional plain radiograph in the past: a relatively "simple and rapid" method to make diagnosis? This review will focus on the use of MDCT considering questions related to radiation dose and diagnostic gain.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
