To define the section spacing that maximizes longitudinal resolution without needless section overlap, the optimal percentage of overlap was computed theoretically and expressed as a constant relative to the effective section thickness. For imaging applications that require maximal longitudinal resolution, single-detector helical computed tomographic images should be reconstructed with at least 60% overlap relative to the effective section thickness.
