Abstract
Helical (spiral) CT scanning of the musculoskeletal system is a valuab le adjunct in patients with complex disease processes where standard r adiography may prove to be of Limited use. When CT scans are ordered, the use of helical (spiral) acquisition provides specific advantages i n terms of ease of performance of the study, potential successful comp letion of the study, and in quality of the CT data set. Future advance s in technology will enhance these advantages.
