> Well the article says that each slice is 600 microns apart so definitely smaller than a typical human CT that I’ve worked with where each slice is at least 1 mm apart.
I’ve just checked our PACS. The extremity protocols are at .6mm, face at .75mm and spine is 1mm.
It was .6mm 10 years ago when I ran them at other sites, so I don’t think this is anything pioneering.
You possibly do the same, but we generally reconstruct thicker. 1mm acquisitions reconstructed in another plane at 1mm look a bit gross as the acquisition needs to be thinner than the recon.

The dose is not high on modern equipment.
