Abstract
Direct coronal CT scanning can be efficiently performed by a new co-table equipment, which requires a comfortable prone positioning of the patient, whereby the patient must only extend his head slightly. The co-tableunit is linked to the original CT table board directly within a few minutes, coming through the opening of the gantry from the rear. This practical co-table method serves to reduce motion artifacts and to improve image quality significantly. By this method coronal follow-up CT scans are exactly reproducable.
