The Best of CT 

Beating Heart                       

Since this is the modality I've worked in for the past 20 years, I have listed the best of CT sites that I visit all the time for research, and resources in the CT field. I hope in the future to add more articles, features, and images to this page.


From the ASRT:

The ASRT is committed to a five-year update/revision cycle for its various curricula documents. The adoption process for the current ASRT Computed Tomography Curriculum was completed by the ASRT Education and Computed Tomography Committees in 2004. This sets a target of 2009 to complete the sequence of curriculum review, revision, posting for community review and comment and submission for formal adoption.

The first draft of the ASRT Computed Tomography Curriculum containing proposed revisions is now available for review and comment.

Gadolinium-Enhanced MDCT Angiography of the Abdomen: Feasibility and Limitations OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a protocol for gadolinium-enhanced MDCT angiography of the abdomen and to identify technical parameters that optimize image quality. CONCLUSION. The degree of enhancement and image quality achieved using this gadolinium-enhanced MDCT angiography appear adequate for angiographic evaluation of the abdominal aorta and its major branches.

GE Healthcare -VCT Series   Scan in Volumes-not Slices The LightSpeed VCT Series groundbreaking technology opens the door to new procedures while improving the imaging of existing ones. Improved resolution, reduced acquisitions per study*, shorter patient-breath-holds along with the platform's power to routinely support faster coverage with submillimeter resolution, allow more robust and repeatable studies. This is critical in emerging procedures such as Coronary Angiographic studies.

Radiation Effective Dose From CT Scans  This program uses parameterizations of data developed by Huda and colleagues (see "References" below) to compute radiation effective dose consequential to computed tomography examinations. "Effective dose", as defined in ICRP Report Number 90, is an index (with units of millirem) that reflects radiation detriment (risk).

The Anatomy Wiz  is an Internet based anatomy educational and reference tool. There are currently multiple modules focused on ENT and musculoskeletal anatomy. Images are displayed and scrolled in a manner similar to a radiology workstation. Several features allow for very quick and easy identification of anatomical structures. Each structure has an accompanying discussion and a list of references.

Calculate Radiation Effective Dose From CT Scans


MDCT.net
is a continually updated reference website offering scientific information to all professionals involved in or interested in multidetector computed tomography technology and practice. The website aims at keeping the radiology community updated on recent developments, at providing information that may improve standards of practice, and at promoting the worldwide dissemination of relevant guidelines and scanning protocols.
MDCT.net is pleased to inform its readers that a new subject section dedicated to musculoskeletal radiology has been launched on the website.This new section complements the already existing anatomical sections, specifically: abdomen and pelvis; brain, head and neck; chest and cardiovascular. New content in the musculoskeletal section includes recent literature and clinical cases regarding the use of multidetector CT for imaging pathologies of the bones, joints and muscles. This information on the musculoskeletal applications of CT will be particularly relevant to clinicians who deal with trauma, neoplastic and degenerative diseases, anatomic abnormalities, and orthopedic implants.
