Springer Advances in CT European Scientific User Conference SOMATOM PLUS Zurich, March 1990 1st Editon 2012 Softbound by Walter A. Fuchs
Radiologists who already use the SOMATOM PLUS computed tomography system discuss their experiences in this report of a User Conference in March, 1990. The distinct advantage of this system in which the whole measuring system rotates continuously is emphasized. More than fifty participants from nine European countries present scientific papers, discuss clinical experience and consider future prospects.
