X-ray computed tomography (CT) has recently been experiencing remarkable growth
as a result of technological advances and new clinical applications. This paper
reviews the essential physics of X-ray CT and its major components. Also reviewed
are recent promising applications of CT, ie, CT-guided procedures, CT-based
thermometry, photon-counting technology, hybrid PET-CT, use of ultrafast-high
pitch scanners, and potential use of dual-energy CT for material
differentiations. These promising solutions and a better knowledge of their
potentialities should allow CT to be used in a safe and effective manner in
several clinical applications.
