The major difference between SSCT and MSCT [multislice computed tomography] is in the design of the detector arrays... The SSCT uses detector arrays that form a 1D [one-dimensional] array. 1, record 1, English, - single%2Dslice%20computed%20tomography

Multiplanar reconstruction is the process of using data from axial MSCT [multislice computed tomography] to create "non-axial" two-dimensional images. MPR images are generated from a plane of only one voxel in thickness transecting a set of axial images. In principle any plane can be generated from the volume data set but, by convention, the most used planes are the body planes(axial, sagittal and coronal)... 3, record 2, English, - multiplanar%20reconstruction

CT [computed temography], MSCT [multi-slice computed tomography] and EBCT [electron beam computed tomography] all use x-rays to produce images representing "slices" of the body-like the slices of a loaf of bread. Each image slice corresponds to a wafer-thin section which can be viewed to reveal body structures in great detail. 1, record 5, English, - image%20slice
