Computed tomography (CT) has made enormous technical advances since its introduction into clinical use. The engineering improvements have in turn led to important clinical applications and large impact in patient care. This paper reviews the technology development trends in CT since its introduction and uses these trends to help illuminate likely future progress. The prediction is that significant further improvements in speed, spatial resolution and dose efficiency can be expected in the next decade.
计算机断层扫描(CT)自引入临床应用以来取得了巨大的技术进步。这些工程改进反过来又带来了重要的临床应用,并对患者护理产生了重大影响。本文回顾了CT自问世以来的技术发展趋势,并利用这些趋势来帮助阐明未来可能取得的进展。预测在下一个十年中,有望在速度、空间分辨率和剂量效率方面取得进一步显著的改进。
