CT urography, unenhanced CT of the kidneys, ureters and bladder, urinary tract ultrasound and cystoscopy will be proposed. Before the advent of fast-scanning multidetector-row CT (MDCT) technology, thoracic CT studies were exclusively used for the morphological assessment of thoracic organs but concurrent examination of the heart has traditionally been hampered by image degradation from cardiac motion artefact. The introduction of fast rotation speed and dedicated cardiac reconstruction algorithms exploiting the multislice acquisition scheme of the data has opened new possibilities for chest imaging, starting with the possibility to integrate cardiac functional information into a diagnostic CT scan of the chest. Initiated with 16-slice MDCT, this concept of integrating morphology and function has been further simplified with 64-slice and dual-source CT scanners, thus allowing the radiologists to provide vital information in the management of patients with a wide variety of acute or chronic respiratory disorders. Because this CT technology offers the possibility of generating highresolution and motion-free images of the coronary arteries, evaluation of the coronary arteries during CT examinations of the chest should further widen the clinical applications of CT for respiratory patients, keeping in mind that cigarette smoking is a shared risk factor for both impaired lung function and cardiovascular events. The purpose of this session is to review practical aspects of this new concept in thoracic imaging.
