CT diagnostic technologies of tomorrow
The presentation "CT Diagnostic Technologies of Tomorrow" will showcase key aspects and requirements of modern imaging methods, highlighting innovations in computed tomography that enhance image quality, reduce radiation exposure, and optimize workflows. It focuses on major technological advancements, their benefits, and improved diagnostic accuracy.
CT imaging is changing: the goal is higher patient safety and comfort, shorter examinations, and still good image quality. The lecture presented modern hardware and software approaches, including artificial intelligence, that contribute to this. Specific real-world solutions were presented, along with a look at the near future of the technology. The central theme is protecting the patient and reducing radiation dose without compromising image quality. This also includes shortening examination time and protecting sensitive structures not only with physical aids but also with technological solutions. Accurate positioning, correct isocenter setting, and a stable, comfortable position on the table are important, which minimizes motion artifacts and stress. As a result, the examination is faster, safer, and the outcomes are more reliable.The patient comes first
