Zusammenfassung:	Major advances have been made in CT technology since its introduction 30 years ago. Examination time has been markedly reduced and it is possible to cover considerably larger scan ranges. Multidetector technology now allows near isotopic imaging with the ability to perform high quality multiplanar reconstructions. It is also now possible to image in well defined vascular phases. In this article we share our experience in the use of multislice CT and detail protocols used in imaging of the abdomen.
