Algorithms Accelerate CAT Scans

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
URBANA, Ill., May 19 -- Researchers at InstaRecon said computed tomography (CT) scanning systems will get a big boost in accuracy and speed thanks to mathematical methods it developed that can provide nearly instantaneous, real-time reconstruction of complex, 3-D images. Newer computer tomography (CT) scanners, sometimes known as CAT scanners, scan patients from head to toe in 10 seconds, collecting data for 4000 image slices. But reconstruction of those images still takes several minutes. According to Yoram Bresler, president of InstaRecon, the company's goal has been to speed up the...Read full article
