The benefits of multi-detector row CT (MDCT) relative to single-detector row helical CT are considerable. Multi-detector row CT allows shorter acquisition times, greater coverage, and superior image resolution. These factors substantially increase the diagnostic accuracy of the examination. Three-dimensional (3D) volume data from MDCT provides various unique applications on thoracic diseases. These includes isotropic viewings, use of multiplanar reformation (MPR), maximum and minimum intensity projections (MIP and minIP), and volume rendering performed from external and internal perspectives allowing the user to "fly around" and "fly through" the structures. Recent advances in 3D volume rendering put real-time, interactive virtual reality guidance of the procedures such as bronchoscopy and surgery into practice.

Improvement of image quality of dentomaxillofacial region in ultra-high resolution computed tomography: A phantom study.
Dentomaxillofac Radiol
November 2024
Department of Clinical Radiology, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, 3‑1‑1 Maidashi, Higashi‑ku, Fukuoka, 812‑8582, Japan.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the image quality of ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (U-HRCT) with that of conventional multi-detector row CT (convCT) and demonstrate its usefulness in the dentomaxillofacial region.
Methods: Phantoms were helically scanned with U-HRCT and convCT scanners using clinical protocols. In U-HRCT, phantoms were scanned in super-high-resolution (SHR) mode, and hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) and filtered-back projection (FBP) techniques were performed using a bone kernel (FC81).
Toe-brachial index and toe systolic blood pressure for the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease.

School of Health Sciences, Western Sydney University, Campbelltown, Australia.
Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower limbs is caused by atherosclerotic occlusive disease in which narrowing of arteries reduces blood flow to the lower limbs. PAD is common; it is estimated to affect 236 million individuals worldwide. Advanced age, smoking, hypertension, diabetes and concomitant cardiovascular disease are common factors associated with increased risk of PAD.

Department of Radiology, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University, 2-5-1 Shikata-Cho, Kita-Ku, Okayama, 700-8558, Japan.
Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the depiction rate of feeding arteries in biopsy-proven clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) on four-dimensional computed tomography angiography (4D-CTA) images.
Materials And Methods: This study included 22 patients with 22 CCRCC and 30 feeding arteries treated with transcatheter renal artery embolization. The depiction rate of the feeding arteries on preprocedural 4D-CTA was evaluated.
