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.
