Revolutionizing Medical Imaging: The Evolution of 4D CT Scans

The video tutorial discusses the evolution of CT scans from 2D to 3D and 4D imaging, highlighting their importance in medical diagnostics. It explains how 3D images are created by stacking 2D slices and introduces the concept of 4D imaging, which captures movement over time. The tutorial addresses challenges in 4D imaging, such as managing large data files and tracking tumor movement during breathing. It also covers the risks of CT scans, including radiation exposure and the use of contrast dyes, urging patients to weigh benefits against potential side effects.
