The pitch is the table travel in millimeters per rotation divided by the detector coverage.

4 Row Interleaved provides a 40% mAs reduction, is 1.5 to 3 times faster than single
slice helical and has minimal helical artifacts, but interleaved pitch 0.5:1 provides
only one third of the coverage compared to interspaced mode.
■
4 Row Interspaced provides data acquisition 2 to 6 times faster than single slice
helical, but requires more interpolation, has more helical artifacts, and only a 20%
mAs reduction.
○ Helical pitches include: 0.516:1, 0.984:1, 0.992:1 and 1.375:1.
4. For Axial, Cine and Cardiac scan types, the detector coverage and slice thickness
determine the images per rotation.
