Where this comes from

Abstract

Several recently introduced 'new' techniques in computed tomography--iterative reconstruction, gated cardiac CT, multiple-source, and dual-energy CT--actually date back to the early days of CT. We review the historic origins and evolution of these techniques, which may provide some insight into the latest innovations in commercial CT systems.
