Scan Modes
Sequential Scanning
This is an incremental, slice-by-slice imaging mode
in which there is no table movement during data
acquisition. A minimum interscan delay in between
each acquisition is required to move the table to
the next slice position.
Spiral Scanning
Spiral scanning is a continuous volume imaging
mode. The data acquisition and table movements are
performed simultaneously for the entire scan dura-
tion. There is no inter-scan delay and a typical range
can be acquired in a single breath hold.
Each acquisition provides a complete volume data
set, from which images with overlapping can be
reconstructed at any arbitrary slice position. Unlike
the sequence mode, spiral scanning does not require
additional radiation to obtain overlapping slices.
Dynamic Multiscan
Multiple continuous rotations at the same table
position are performed for data acquisition. Normally,
it is applied for fast dynamic contrast studies, such as
Perfusion CT.
Dynamic Serioscan
Dynamic serial scanning mode without table feed.
Dynamic serio can still be used for dynamic evaluation
such as Test Bolus.
