Helical CT Scan

Helical CT Scan

This machine is a recently developed CT scan which makes images by helically (spirally) scanning X-rays. This helical CT scan can reveal three-dimentional images.Moreover we can get three-dimentional vessel images (called 3D CT angiograms) with contrast medium. Of course we can also see ordinary horizontal images as with an ordinary CT scan.
