Early clinical experience with motionless whole-body computed tomography. 1976

S Sagel, and R J Stanley, and R G Evens

A new computed tomographic body scanner, capable of completing a scan in 18 sec., produces dramatically clearer and more precise pictures of the abdomen and thorax than heretofore possible. Other technical improvements result in increased clarity in areas of the body not affected by motion, including the brain. Potential clinical uses are illustrated.
