Optimisation strategies in medical X-ray imaging

The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below.

This issue of Radiation Protection Dosimetry is based on contributions to the Second Malmö Conference on Medical X-Ray Imaging, which was held from 23 to 25 April, 2004 at the Malmö University Hospital, Sweden. The conference was jointly organised by the members of the coordinated research project RADIUS within the Radiation Protection Research Programme of the European Commission.

The recent progress in medical imaging has been remarkable. In the past few years, all the major imaging technologies have taken dramatic steps forward. The transmission and detection of X rays is still the leading technique with applications in radiography, angiography, fluoroscopy and mammography examinations. X rays are also the basis for CT-systems, which currently can obtain up to 64 ‘slices’ through the body simultaneously. This multi-slice approach facilitates three-dimensional image reconstruction, making it increasingly attractive for a wider range of diagnostic and screening tests. Multi-slice CT (MSCT) is a significant advancement . . . [Full Text of this Article]
