Slip ring capabilities

• Faster conventional axial scanning

• Inter-scan delay governed only by time taken for table to move to new position (~ 1 s)

• Continuous rotation allows:

• Continuous imaging (Real time CT, CT Fluoroscopy)

• Helical scanning

  • Continuous movement of the patient through the gantry while imaging
    • Eliminates the irradiate – move patient – irradiate etc cycle of sequential imaging
