Any of several techniques for making detailed x-rays of a predetermined plane section of a solid object
An X-ray technique that produces a detailed cross-section of tissue structure at a predetermined depth
A technique used in remote sensing for retrieving atmospheric parameters in a plane (cross-section) by taking measurements at different angles (and possibly different frequencies)
Radiological technique for obtaining clear X-ray images of internal structures by focusing on a specific plane within the body to produce a cross-sectional image. It allows the examination of structures that are obscured by overlying organs and soft tissues and do not show up clearly on conventional X-ray images. See also computed axial tomography. computed axial tomography computed tomography positron emission tomography
from the Greek words "to cut or section" (tomos) and "to write" (graphein), in nuclear medicine, it is a method of separating interference from the area of interest by imaging a cut section of the object
A method of producing a 3-D image of internal objects by comparing the energy (usually x-rays) that is absorbed at various angles about the outside of the object See also Computed Tomography
