CT Post Processing: What is it, How do we use it, and Where is it going?

Ended Dec 31, 2020

Course Introduction

CT continues to push the boundaries of advanced medical imaging. Since its inception in the early ’70s, the modality has experienced numerous changes throughout its history. Image acquisition and post-processing gives CT a significant advantage over other modalities and continues to drive the field into the future. This presentation will discuss the process of image reconstruction as well as various post-processing techniques utilized today. The attendee can also expect to learn how radiographers play a vital role in creating diagnostic reformats and how future hardware/software applications will be utilized in hopes of increasing diagnostic efficacy.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the session, you will be able to:

Discuss the various steps involved in image reconstruction
Give examples and discuss clinical applications of various post-processing techniques
Recognize the role a radiographer has in producing diagnostic reformats
Identify technology that has/will increase diagnostic efficacy
