Abstract:
Utilizing a rotational digital radiographic system (SF-VA 100, Hitachi) 289 digital images were obtained during a 360-degree rotation in 4.8 seconds. The images were transferred to a high-speed workstation and post-processed to create volume data in 9 minutes. The multi-planar reconstruction method reconstructed high-quality tomographic images with equal resolution in any direction. We applied this system as a cone beam CT in order to demonstrate pulmonary and spinal lesions. Early clinical experience suggested the usefulness of the method in the evaluation of diseases in organs with high radiographic contrast.

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...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
