dual source CT

What is dual source CT (DSCT)?

In DSCT, two x-ray tubes and two detector arrays located at 90-degree angles from one another are used in the CT gantry to acquire CT images. This improves the temporal resolution (i.e., acquisition speed) of the scanner and is mainly used in coronary CT studies to overcome cardiac motion artifacts during image acquisition.
