Computed tomography (CT) using a geometric magnification technique was found to improve spatial resolution in phantom studies when compared with conventional third-generation geometry images. The clinical feasibility of using geometric magnification, small focal spot size, and dynamic contrast enhancement was studied in 143 patients referred to CT for clinically suspected pancreatic disease. This population included 46 patients with a normal pancreas and 36 patients subsequently proven to have primary pancreatic carcinoma. Using this new technique in conjunction with dynamic contrast enhancement resulted in high quality pancreatic images. Despite the limitations in tube current associated with a small focal spot size and low total heat capacity of the system, clinical imaging was not adversely affected. Use of the geometric magnification technique is recommended in departments where it is technically feasible.
