helical computed tomography

helical computed tomography,

computed tomography that combines continuous gantry rotation with continuous table movement to form a helical or spiral path of scan data. Because this method scans a volume of tissue rather than a series of individual slices of tissue, small lesions can be easily detected. Also called spiral computed tomography.
