10. List and describe three procedures that are routinely performed with MDCT (5 points) (Make sure to describe them well enough to convince me that you know what they are).

CT Physics

The CT Physics Quiz is based on the PowerPoint Presentation below (also available here).
It covers Artifacts in CT, and Patient Dose.

CT Protocols

The CT Protocols Quiz 4 is taken from Appendix C of the textbook (starting at pg.503), and the video on cardiac imaging posted on April 15th (Cardiac CT: State of the heart 2009)

You will also have to know basic anatomy of the heart (see video below)
