Since its introduction in the early 1970s, computed tomography (CT) has undergone tremendous improvements in terms of technology, performance and clinical applications. Based on the historic evolution of CT and basic CT physics, this chapter describes the status quo of the technology and tries to anticipate future developments. Besides the description of key components of CT systems, a special focus is placed on breakthrough developments, such as multi-slice CT and dedicated scan modes for cardiac imaging.
