ABSTRACT
Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) provides new opportunities and poses challenges for medical imaging to radiologists and physicians. Isotropic imaging (similar resolution in three dimensional directions) allows in-depth views of anatomy and disease. Ultra-fast scan enables whole-body volume imaging within a single breath hold and thus the reduction of contrast medium consumption. CT volume data sets can be used for threedimensional visualization of the whole body, with which the detailed and comprehensive interpretation of thoracic anatomy and specific disease location and extent is plausible. Moreover, four-dimensional CT imaging can be possible and therefore, we can observe and quantify cardiopulmonary functions without invasive procedures. The author reviews briefly the application of MDCT for the thoracic imaging.
