From: Sine Spin flat detector CT can improve cerebral soft tissue imaging: a retrospective in vivo study
At quantitative analysis (a) the lentiform nucleus of the contralateral hemisphere to the ischemic stroke demonstrated a higher CNR and thus a better differentiation of gray matter (GM) for S-FDCT compared to C-FDCT. Similar results were found in the qualitative analyses with a better differentiation of the basal ganglia (b) and the supratentorial cortex (c) for S-FDCT compared to C-FDCT. MDCT provided the best visibility of GM in both analyses. Bars = median; whiskers = interquartile range. C-FDCT Conventional flat detector computed tomography; CNR Contrast-to-noise ratio; MDCT Multidetector computed tomography; S-FDCT Sine Spin flat detector computed tomography
