(Tıp, İlaç) Radiography in which a three-dimensional image of a body structure is constructed by computer from a series of plane cross-sectional images made along an axis ― called also computed axial tomography computerized axial tomography computerized tomography
or computed tomography (CT) Diagnostic imaging method using a low-dose beam of X rays that crosses the body in a single plane at many different angles. Conceived by William Oldendorf and developed independently by Godfrey Hounsfield (b. 1919) and Allan M. Cormack, who shared a 1979 Nobel Prize for their inventions, this major advance in imaging technology became generally available in the early 1970s. Detectors record the strength of the exiting X rays; this information is then processed by computer to produce a detailed two-dimensional cross-sectional image of the body. A series of such images in parallel planes or around an axis can show the location of abnormalities (especially tumours and other masses) more precisely than can conventional X-ray images
A diagnostic technique that uses a computer and an x-ray machine to take a series of images that can be transformed into a clear and detailed image of a joint
a non-invasive procedure that takes cross-sectional images of the brain or other internal organs; to detect any abnormalities that may not show up on an ordinary x-ray
Computed Tomography (also known as CAT Scan, Computed Axial Tomography) is a technical advance over Conventional Tomography A x-ray source and detector are moved about a focal plane in the body, as in Conventional Tomography, but a computer is used to generate an accurate cross-sectional image of the body This powerful technique is used to evaluate pathology throughout the body Administration of intravenous iodinated contrast aids in the evaluation of solid organ disease, for example metastatic lesions within the liver Iodinated contrast may also be injected into the joints in the detection of ligament tears or other joint abnormalities
a diagnostic imaging method in which x-ray measurements from many angles are combined in an image CT scans help physicians evaluate bone structures and bleeding within the skull and spine
Method of visualizing the body's soft tissues Using x-rays with the beam passing repeatedly thorugh the body part, the CT scans while a compurter calculates tissue absorption at each point scanned
(Also called a CT or CAT scan ) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called "slices"), both horizontally and vertically, of the body A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays
