De toekomst van de CT-scan

The number of CT scans being made has increased over the past few years. New CT technology has been developed to reduce the individual patient radiation dose. By using this technology it is possible to make CT scans with a radiation dose approaching conventional X-rays, which means that in the future radiation dose may not form a limitation to making CT scans. The indication for CT scans will broaden, and low-dose CT scans will increasingly replace conventional radiography.
