Choosing a computer system.

Abstract

If you can set aside the intense marketing and the appealing gadgetry that surround computer systems, you will still be left with a complex and challenging set of choices. Investigate the hardware and software carefully, certainly, but pay especially close attention to the quality of the people involved, from the consultants to the vendors. Be as skeptical and cautious as any good customer, and make your decisions as though the future of your practice depended on it.

[Fundamental study of helical scanning CT--evaluation of spatial resolution in the longitudinal axis].

We evaluated spatial resolution in the longitudinal axis with helical scanning CT using a fourth-generation fast CT scanner. We made a phantom by stringing acrylic balls (65 mm phi x 8 and 9 mm phi x 6). The acquired images were processed by MPR and assessed visually to evaluate axis resolution. With the conventional scanning method, the partial volume effect varied with the starting position, but helical scanning was able to reconstruct high-resolution images using continuous raw data. During helical scanning, axis resolution varied depending on the slice width and sliding speed of the couch top. Even if the sliding speed was kept constant at 4 mm/sec, axis resolution was superior with a slice width of 2 mm than with one of 5 mm.
