    1Siemens[7]Stratonz-Sharp technology(z-axis double sampling)each probe unit yields two alternately overlapping X-line projections without a dose increase, substantially improving the spatial resolution and imaging quality
    2PhilipsiMRCprecise flying focal spot (SFS,the x-axial and z-axial flying focal spot technology)double sampling rate is obtained in plane and longitudinal direction, which is equivalent to 4 times of detector, and high spatial resolution is obtained in axial position and spiral scanning
    3DunleeCT5000xDFS(the x-axial flying focal spot),zDFS(the z-axial flying focal spot)improve imaging quality, provide sharp and clear images, zDFS double the number of slices, and there is no need for detectors with higher spatial resolution
