Cone-Beam CT Best for Visualizing Hard-Contrast Objects

摘要

Cone-beam CT is preferential to multislice spiral CT for hard-contrast objects, study says. There was not that great a difference between cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) with respect to dose and image quality, according to the results of a study published recently in Investigative Radiology. However, study results did show that use of MSCT was preferential for soft-contrast objects and CBCT for hard-contrast objects.
