The Best of CT 

Cat Scan      

Since this is the modality I've worked in for the past 20 years, I have listed the best CT sites that I visit all the time for research, and resources in the CT field. I hope in the future to add more articles, features, and images to this page.

From the ASRT:

The ASRT is committed to a five-year update/revision cycle for its various curricula documents. The adoption process for the current ASRT Computed Tomography Curriculum was completed by the ASRT Education and Computed Tomography Committees in 2004. This sets a target of 2009 to complete the sequence of curriculum review, revision, posting for community review and comment and submission for formal adoption.

The first draft of the ASRT Computed Tomography Curriculum containing proposed revisions is now available for review and comment.

The New CTISUS. After a three-month long evaluation of current design trends and internet best practices, design work on the new CTisus.com began. Fifteen-hundred hours of thoughtful user-interface development later, the framework for the most intuitive, socially-centric medical education website was born.

In the new CTisus.com, navigational options were consolidated into a clear, five-item menu that remains consistent throughout the website.

With a less cluttered look that features expanded content and enhanced readability, the new site consistently focuses upon the most recently-added content, eliminating the need to browse through pages of material to find out the latest advancements in diagnostic imaging.

The transformed website will continue to deliver world-class, state-of-the-practice medical imaging content to radiologic technologists and other allied healthcare professionals who access the site daily from more than 100 countries.  Dr. Elliot K Fishman author.

"Everything you wanted to Know About Contrast
but were afraid to Ask"

New and Improved "Ask the Fish" is up! Ask a question related to the practice of CT and Dr. Elliot K. Fishman, MD, will answer it. Patients: Please consult with your doctor, and DO NOT post patient questions in this forum.

Gadolinium-Enhanced MDCT Angiography of the Abdomen: Feasibility and Limitations OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a protocol for gadolinium-enhanced MDCT angiography of the abdomen and to identify technical parameters that optimize image quality. CONCLUSION. The degree of enhancement and image quality achieved using this gadolinium-enhanced MDCT angiography appear adequate for angiographic evaluation of the abdominal aorta and its major branches.

GE Healthcare -VCT Series   Scan in Volumes-not Slices The LightSpeed VCT Series groundbreaking technology opens the door to new procedures while improving the imaging of existing ones. Improved resolution, reduced acquisitions per study*, shorter patient-breath-holds along with the platform's power to routinely support faster coverage with submillimeter resolution, allow more robust and repeatable studies. This is critical in emerging procedures such as Coronary Angiographic studies.

A new CT generation takes shape: thinking outside the circle
By Greg Freiherr | April 16, 2010

Radiation Effective Dose From CT Scans  This program uses parameterizations of data developed by Huda and colleagues (see "References" below) to compute radiation effective dose consequential to computed tomography examinations. "Effective dose", as defined in ICRP Report Number 90, is an index (with units of millirem) that reflects radiation detriment (risk).

A noted researcher in the area of cardiac and dual energy CT, William P. Shuman, MD, FACR, is Professor, Medical Director of Radiology, and Vice Chair of the Department of Radiology at University of Washington Medical Center.
 

The Anatomy Tutor
The CT Anatomy Tutor, from Wayne State University, This program is designed for teaching clinically relevant CT anatomy of the entire body. This is not a comprehensive guide for learning CT anatomy. The focus of this program is on specific structures which are readily seen on CT images but often are not well described in CT atlases. It is specifically oriented to structures that have clinical relevance. There are three sections to this program. The first section is in a quiz format where structures are shown in the brain, head and neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, and the upper and lower extremities. The second section is a series of tutorials that describe how to identify structures in regions with complex anatomy or structures that have special characteristics that can be used to identify other structures. The third section consists of a glossary of anatomic terms with links to structures identified in the first two sections.
Images in this program are primarily 2.5 to 3 mm axial sections of normal CT scans with relevant sagittal and coronal reconstructions.

The Anatomy Wiz
The Anatomy Wiz,is an Internet based anatomy educational and reference tool. There are currently multiple modules focused on ENT and musculoskeletal anatomy. Images are displayed and scrolled in a manner similar to a radiology workstation. Several features allow for very quick and easy identification of anatomical structures. Each structure has an accompanying discussion and a list of references.

UK CT Users Group We are a group for people with an interest in medical CT scanning. Our main aim is to share experience and knowledge relating to CT scanning with each other, as well as to provide an educational forum. We formed in 1999, and are mainly hospital physicists, but we also count radiographers and radiologists amongst our number. Our main forum occurs during our meetings, which are organized approximately once per year. These are informal, and involve presentations and discussion sessions, with an emphasis on sharing experience and knowledge.

MDCT.net
is a continually updated reference website offering scientific information to all professionals involved in or interested in multidetector computed tomography technology and practice. The website aims at keeping the radiology community updated on recent developments, at providing information that may improve standards of practice, and at promoting the worldwide dissemination of relevant guidelines and scanning protocols.
MDCT.net is pleased to inform its readers that a new subject section dedicated to musculoskeletal radiology has been launched on the website.This new section complements the already existing anatomical sections, specifically: abdomen and pelvis; brain, head and neck; chest and cardiovascular. New content in the musculoskeletal section includes recent literature and clinical cases regarding the use of multidetector CT for imaging pathologies of the bones, joints and muscles. This information on the musculoskeletal applications of CT will be particularly relevant to clinicians who deal with trauma, neoplastic and degenerative diseases, anatomic abnormalities, and orthopedic implants.
