The Association Between the Use of Low-Slice Computed Tomography Machines and Downstream Care: Comparative Study of 16-Slice and 64-Slice Computed Tomography Angiography

The Association Between the Use of Low-Slice Computed Tomography Machines and Downstream Care: Comparative Study of 16-Slice and 64-Slice Computed Tomography Angiography

In 2004, the first clinical images from a 64-slice CT machine were released to the public, and a machine was commercially launched in the American market [1]. In part due to the increased costs of 64-slice CT machines, their adoption has not been universal. By 2016—over 1 decade after 64-slice CT became available—only 63% of hospitals had access to a CT machine with 64 or more slices [2]. Thus, a substantial number of patients continue to undergo CT on machines with fewer slices.
