MDCT Evaluation of the Coronary Arteries, 2004: How We Do It--Data Acquisition, Postprocessing, Display, and Interpretation -- Lawler et al. 184 (5): 1402 -- American Journal of Roentgenology

This article is for 16-slice CT scanners and though most of it can be extrapolated to the newer 64-slice scanners, not all of the material is relevant. This again illustrates the problem with the frustratingly slow pace of publication in radiology - the article was submitted in Feb 2004 and has been published in June 2005.

Among the issues not relevant to 64-slice CT scanners, are those of dose-modulation, contrast injection and timing and phase reconstruction. These will be discussed in detail in the "Images" blog this month.
