With MSCT scanners, resolution is primarily determined by
A) prepatient collimation.
B) dose.
C) collimation at the detector.
D) gantry rotation speed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resolution of MSCT scanners is primarily determined by collimation at the detector, as this determines the width of the X-ray beam and the spatial resolution of the resulting image. Prepatient collimation and gantry rotation speed can also have an impact on resolution, but to a lesser extent. Dose is not directly related to resolution.
