5. Definisi
Computed tomography (CT), biasa pula disebut
computed axial tomography (CAT or CT scan)
maupun body section roentgenography, adalah
suatu teknik pencitraan medis untuk
menvisualisasikan secara irisan (tomografi)
jaringan atau organ tubuh yang diperoleh melalui
rekonstruksi komputer dari proses digitisasi sinar-x
yang bergerak mengitari objek pemeriksaan

10. Dr. Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield
- Born in 1919 in Nottinghamshire, England.
- Graduated from Radar school at Royal Air
Force in Cranwell.
- Graduated from Electrical & Machanical
Engineering from Faraday House.
- In 1951 joined EMI Limited company
- In 1967 was studying the images reconstruction
technique and images processing by using the
computer.
- In 1971 the first clinical prototype brain scanner
was installed at Atkinson-Morley’s Hospital.
- In 1972 the first patient was scanned by this
machine. The images showed clearly in detail a
dark circular cyst in the brain.
The inventor of clinical CT
11. - In 1971, CT prototype was installed at
Atkinson-Morley Hospital.
(processing time ~ 20 minutes)
- Processing time was reduced to 4.5 minutes
by changing to used minicomputer.
- In 1972, the first patient was scanned by this
machine.
- Head scan only.
- CT images showed clearly detail a dark circular
cyst in the brain.
First-generation CT head scanner(EMI):
Water bag
Tube
Single detector
13. Evolution of term :
Computed Tomography has held many names
- Computerized Transverse Axial Tomography ( CTAT)
- Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT)
- Reconstructive Tomography (RT)
The term as most commonly being used to day
is Computed Tomography (CT).
14. • 1971 First Generation
• 1972 Second Generation
• 1975 - Present Third Generation
• 1977 - Present Fourth Generation
1983 Fifth Generation
( Imatron developed )
GENERATION OF CT SCANNERS
15. First Generation
Translate/Rotate with Single Detector
With single detectorcan only
acquire one view at a time
Mechanically complex
Long scan times (4-5 minutes).
VERY SLOW!!!
Problems …..
16.
17. Second Generation
Translate/Rotate with Multiple Detectors
An improvement over the 1st Generation
Problem...
Mechanically
Complex
Improvement...
Multiple detectors
(up to 30 detectors)
allowed fast scanning
( 20-90 Seconds)
18.
19. Third Generation
Rotate / Rotate
Problem...
Faster scan time
still need for
clinical use.
( 4.9 sec. / 1975)
Improvement...
- Array of detectors and tube
rotate around the patient for
faster scanning.
- High mechanical stability.
- Good tube-patient-detectors
geometry.
- Detectors always in x-ray
beam, allow good utilization
of the x-ray beam.
Current Technology
20.
21. Fourth Generation
Rotate-Only or Rotate-Stationary
Problems…...
- Due to the great number
of detectors be needed.
So……too expensive !!!
- More susceptible to
scatter radiation.
- Poor beam utilization
- Low detector geometric
efficiency.
X-ray tube moves within
fixed ring of detectors

38. What is CTA ?
CTA is thin slice helical scanning of vascular
examination to analysis the arteries and veins
using contrast media which non-invasive
method.
40. General suggested protocol for CTA :
• Preparation ; not necessary
• No contrast oral ornegative contrast agent ( water)
• Patient position ; supine
• Contrast : Non-ionic contrast 100-150 ml
• Acquisition technique : Scout – Pre Contrast – Contrast
• Post processing on the OC orAWWorkstation
50. Why CTC ?
1. The examination on the complete length of the colon,
not limited to the distal colon only.
2. When need clinical evaluation of surface and deep colon structures,
such as diverticuli.
3. When need clinical evaluation of other part of abdominal structures,
such as liver, vascular structures, etc.
4. When the virtual dissection procedure were needed.
5. When the sedation being the issue.
51. CTC vs Colonoscopy
CTC
Less expensive.
Be considered as a screening study.
When diagnostic concern for both on the surface
and within deeper structures.
It is not only for CTC, but also for evaluation on
the liver, kidneys, pancreas as well as the other
retroperitoneal and pelvice structure including
vasculature.
Colonoscopy
More expensive.
For diagnostic + Therapeutic (biobsy).
For the surface structures mucosal tissue view.
It’s for colonoscopy only.
52. Case 01
70 years male, occlusive colorectal carcinoma
Can’t passed endoscopically, unable to vizualize colon proximal.
CT Colon technique:
- Bowel preparation
- Scanned in supine & prone
- Thickness 1.25 mm
- Took +/- 20 mnts (BS 8)
- Data sent to workstation, auto dissection, Navigator, 3D colon
53. Finding : Distal colon carcinoma (rectum)
3 polyps in right colon
54. 65 year old woman with transvere
colon carcinoma, 3 polyps detected
with CT colonography
Polyp 9 mm missed by conventional
endoscopy
Case 02 :
59. Allows quick calculation of Cerebral Blood Flow,
Cerebral Blood Volume, and Mean Transit Time.
Assessment of patients in minutes
Low contrast injection rates (approx. 4 cc per sec.)
CT Perfusion
61. DentaScan
Real time image reformation specific to CT dental imaging :
• Obliques Perpendicular to the Dental Arch
• Panorex reformations.
Reformations can be :
• Cross-referenced in real time
• Saved on image database
• Printed on film.
