Abstract;We have developed a CT system using cone-beam shaped X ray. It takes 12 seconds to take whole lung fileds, which makes possible to get whole lung data within one breath hold. Presently, low contrast is disadvantage of this system but the resolution of sagital and coronal direction is high. We can obtain high qulity images about tumor-vesseles relation. (author abst.)
