"The introduction of multi-detector-row Computed Tomography (CT) in the early 1990s resulted in a fundamental and far-reaching improvement of CT Imaging. For the first time volume of data could be acquired without mis-registration of anatomical details, which indicated the development of three-dimensional image processing techniques. In the last 20 years the CT technology has further improved with the introduction of systems up to 320 detector-row and with the development of dual source and multi-spectral technology"--Provided by publisher.
