Multidetector computed tomography (CT) has diffused rapidly into clinical imaging practice in a short time. Major improvements in relation to single-detector CT are faster image acquisition and improved z-axis resolution. Abdominal visceral imaging with multidetector CT uses both the vascular and parenchymal phases of contrast material enhancement to provide a combined angiographic and multipass organ-directed study. All examinations are performed with standard contrast material loads.
