Computed tomography (CT) is an imaging technique that has revolutionised medical imaging. It is widely available, fast, and provides a detailed view of the internal organs and structures. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the procedures, applications and health risks of CT scans. Topics included in this compilation include CT-guided radio-frequency ablation of liver tumors; cardiac CT imaging; the neurodiagnostic pitfalls of CT scanning from a neurological viewpoint; 3D-CT in oral and maxillofacial research and overdenture construction of implants using CT scanning techniques.
