Summary

Image quality of a computed tomography image is dependent on temporal and spatial resolution. In this article both factors are addressed in relation to image quality. The effect of temporal resolution on image quality is assessed by comparing image quality scores of dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) to single-source 64-slice multi-detector computed tomography. The effect of calcifications on image quality is discussed also.

Keywords: Image quality; multi-detector computed tomography; coronary calcifications
