Abstract

Helical CT (also called spiral CT) was introduced commercially in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Helical CT has expanded the traditional CT capability by enabling the scan of an entire organ in a single breath-hold. It is safe to state that helical CT is one of the key steps that moved CT from a slice-oriented imaging modality to an organ-oriented modality. The difference in the naming convention between helical and spiral CT is due mainly to different CT manufacturers. For all practical and technical purposes, there is no difference between the two. To avoid confusion, we will use the term helical throughout this chapter.
