High-resolution CT using MDCT: comparison of degree of motion artifact between volumetric and axial methods

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2004 Mar;182(3):757-9. doi: 10.2214/ajr.182.3.1820757.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the degree of motion artifact on high-resolution CT images obtained using volumetric and axial (nonvolumetric) CT methods.

Conclusion: Volumetric high-resolution CT is associated with significantly greater motion artifact compared with axial noncontiguous high-resolution imaging.
