Abstract
The authors introduce a method for cardiac investigations by using electroc ardiographically gated spiral scanning with a four-section computed tomogra phic system. Three-dimensional images were reconstructed by means of a 250- msec temporal resolution and continuous volume coverage by using a dedicate d multisection cardiac volume reconstruction algorithm. Motion-free thin-se ction volume images were acquired with thin sections and overlapping image increments within a single breath hold. Data segment shifts in time allowed for multiphase imaging.
