| Abstract
|
:
|
The authors present their experience in more than seven years of dynamic computed tomography in clinical practice. Dynamic computed tomography represents a significant advance over conventional computed tomography in some situations, and this signifies a major contri- bution to the diagnostic capabilities of the clinical radiologist.
