Definitions for "Spiral CT"
See helical CT.
Modified conventional computed tomography (CT) technique utilizing continuous scanning. For a spiral CT, the x-ray tube continuously revolves around the patient. This produces a three-dimensional reconstruction and helps doctors detect nodules that are too small to be seen on a conventional x-ray.
low-dose multidetector spiral computed tomography (CT) is an imaging technique that can screen asymptomatic, high-risk individuals for small lung nodules before they appear on traditional x-rays.
