What a volumetric CT scan is
A volumetric CT scan is how the gantry acquires a volume: the table moves while the tube spins (helical / spiral), a multi-detector row grabs many slices per rotation, and reconstruction writes a stack you can reformat. This page is that scan mode. It is not volume rendering (how you paint the volume afterward). If […]
Volume rendering of CT
Volume rendering of CT paints every voxel in a scan — not just a surface — so you can see vessels, bone, and soft tissue in one 3D view. The useful knobs are MIP vs DVR, transfer functions, and (when you want film lighting) cinematic rendering. This page is that visualization. It is not how […]
