MRS563 Trends in Computerised Tomography (8)
Abstract| This subject examines new techniques and applications of computerised tomography (CT). It is offered concurrently with the practice of clinical CT. The aim is to provide the theoretical bases of the new techniques and applications of CT which are not commonly current clinical practice. Emerging developments, whether they be clinical practice, contrast agents, equipment or safety practice will be examined. |
