AB The  basic  single-detector  computed  tomography  (CT)  scanner  operates  with  a  single  row  of  detectors  mounted  opposite  an  x-ray  source  on  a  rotating  gantry  through  which  a  patient  moves  during  image  acquisition.  In  1992,  the  first  dual-section  helical  CT  scanner  was  introduced,  which  had  two  rows  of  detectors.1  In  subsequent  years,  technology  has  continued  to  improve,  with  additional  rows  of  detectors  added  to  the  rotating  gantry.  Currently,  multidetector  scanners  with  a  single  x-ray  source  are  available  with  up  to  128  rows  of  detectors.  Scanners  with  two  x-ray  sources  have  256  or  more  detectors.
