''The advent of computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized diagnostic radiology. Since the inception of CT in the 1970s, its use has increased rapidly. It is estimated that more than 62 million CT scans per year are currently obtained in the United ...'

''Over the last few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the availability and application of tests that use ionizing radiation to take images of the body. These tests include computed tomography, or CT, scans and nuclear medicine exams that ...'

''Screening heavy smokers with low-dose computer tomography (CT) instead of X-rays can reduce deaths from lung cancer by 20 percent, a massive US study released Thursday shows. Previous studies have shown that helical CT scanning can identify small ...'

''ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2008) ? New research has found that the availability of a portable eight-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner in an emergency room can significantly increase the number of stroke victims who receive a potentially life-saving ...'

''Computed tomography (CT) scans are superior to standard radiography (X-rays) for the detection of pelvic fractures, according to a study to be presented at the American Roentgen Ray Society 2010 Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA. CT scanning combines ...'

''X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the diagnostic procedures that can cause relatively high radiation exposure to the patient. In the last two decades, the increasing use of CT in clinical practice and the relatively high doses delivered to the ...'

''A prototype breast imaging system combining positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies could greatly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting. Although ...'

''The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced an initiative to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure from three types of medical imaging procedures: computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine studies, and fluoroscopy. These procedures are the ...'

''Based on its recent analysis of the cardiac molecular imaging systems market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Positron Corporation with the 2010 North American Award for New Product Innovation, for its pioneering cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) ...'
