Published Date: Mar 24, 2023

Abstract

The latest evolutions in Computed Tomography (CT) technology have several applications in oncological imaging. The innovations in hardware and software allow for the optimization of the oncological protocol. Low-kV acquisitions are possible thanks to the new powerful tubes. Iterative reconstruction algorithms and artificial intelligence are helpful for the management of image noise during image reconstruction. Functional information is provided by spectral CT (dual-energy and photon counting CT) and perfusion CT.
