Conclusion
1.
320-row ADCT allows dynamic motion images to be obtained in a single breath.
These 4D-images are visualized the movements of lung parenchyma.
Thus,
these dynamic images are useful for the diagnosis of the adhesion/invasion of lung cancer,
COPD and many other diseases.
2.
The exposure dose can be reduced by employing low-dose (5-20mAs) intermittent scanning using AIDR3D and PhyZiodynamics.
3.
Acceptable image quality can be obtained,
without any substantial artifacts affecting diagnostic acceptability.
And,
techniques of quantify respiratory kinetics have been developed.
4.
Dynamic respiratory motion Imaging using 320-row ADCT is a respiratory functional imaging that can be clinically applied to many pulmonary diseases.
