SPIRAL/HELICAL CT SCANNER
This is the latest generation of CT.
It allows for continuous rotation of the tube for spiral CT
Spiral CT is made possible by slip-ring technology.
The tube can continuously rotate 360 degrees, where it must stop
after each rotation with conventional CT
The detector array may contain as many as 14,600 detectors that are 1.25mm wide.
This allows multiple slice to be made with one scan and more tissue volume to be imaged.
