Definition
English
:
Computed
tomography
where there is continuous X-ray exposure to the patient while being transported in a spiral or helical pattern through the beam of irradiation. This provides improved three-dimensional contrast and spatial resolution compared to conventional computed
tomography
, where data is obtained and computed from individual sequential exposures.
