Computed Tomography (CT)

Computed tomography (CT) systems use a series of X-ray images to create an image volume dataset with slices that can be manipulated on any plane using advanced visualization software. The section includes computed tomography scanners, CT contrast agents, CT angiography (CTA and CCTA), CT perfusion, spectral CT (dual-source CT), and iterative reconstruction dose reduction software.

As part of an international collaboration, researchers from Aarhus University and University of Leicester have succeeded in developing a dynamic 3-D CT scanning method that shows what happens inside the body during simulated heart massage
