    Computed tomography angiography (also called CT angiography or CTA) is a computed tomography technique used for angiography—the visualization of arteries and veins—throughout the human body. Using contrast injected into the blood vessels, images are created to look for blockages, aneurysms (dilations of walls), dissections (tearing of walls ...

    However, coronal images require the person to hyperextend their neck, which must be avoided if any possibility of neck injury exists. [8] CT scans of the head increase the risk of brain cancer, especially for children. As of 2018, it appeared that there was a risk of one excess cancer per 3,000–10,000 head CT exams in children under the age ...

    Low-dose high-resolution (1.25 mm) chest CT. HRCT is performed using a conventional CT scanner. However, imaging parameters are chosen so as to maximize spatial resolution: [1] a narrow slice width is used (usually 1–2 mm), a high spatial resolution image reconstruction algorithm is used, field of view is minimized, so as to minimize the size of each pixel, and other scan factors (e.g. focal ...
