CT Angiography and 3D Imaging: Current State-of-the-Art

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Program Director: Elliot K. Fishman, MD, FACR
The rapid evolution of multidetector CT (MDCT) provides the radiologist with unprecedented capabilities to acquire high resolution CT datasets. The development of 64-slice MDCT scanners provide the capability for sub-second data acquisition of isotropic datasets. Many now are recognizing that these datasets represent far more than just a stack of images but represent a volume of data that needs to be analyzed as a volume in what is commonly called volume visualization.

Within this term lies a range of capabilities spanning the gamut from 3D imaging, CT angiography to virtual imaging. Applications like CT angiography, virtual colonoscopy and 3D orthopedic imaging are becoming more mainstream and new applications like coronary CTA and runoff studies promise to be the next frontier in CT scanning. This program addresses the principles, exam techniques, and clinical applications in 3D imaging and CT angiography with a special focus on new applications like cardiac CTA.
