According to ECRI Institute, 128-slice scanners are attractive to customers not only because they are upgradeable, but they allow for better 3-D modeling and artifact reduction. In fact, among ECRI's clients, 128-slice is often at the top of their wish-lists. According to internal research by the institute, by the third quarter of 2012, interest peaked around 128-slice scanners, while interest in 64-slice ones dropped to third place.
