helical CT

Helical CT, or helical computed tomography, is an advanced imaging technique used in medicine to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. Unlike traditional CT scans that take one slice at a time, helical CT uses a continuous spiral motion of the X-ray machine around the patient. This allows for faster scanning and the ability to capture images in a more comprehensive way. The result is high-resolution, 3D-like images that help doctors diagnose and monitor various medical conditions, making it a valuable tool in medical diagnostics.
