Thinking about technological progress

Ten years have passed since mdct.net went online and CT technology made large steps during this time period.

Today we routinely work with 320 and 640 detector scanners capable of capturing cardiac images of outstanding quality during a single heartbeat; ten years ago this was not just beyond clinical reality, but well beyond imagination.

To us, the best way to appreciate this progress is to look back to the past, overcome challenges and then move face forward to present ones.

For this reason, we suggest having a look at the following e-lectures we selected for you:

• Advances in cardiac CT: Ready for clinical routine? ECR 2007 – K. Nikolaou, C. Rist

• Integrating highly concentrated contrast media into a 3rd generation dual source cardiovascular CT workflow. ESCR 2015 – H. Haubenreisser

• Dose optimization using high concentration contrast media in cardiac CT. ESCR 2015 – I. Carbone
