3 computed tomography and magnetic pdf A CT scan, also known as computed tomography scan, and formerly known as a computerized axial tomography scan or CAT scan, makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual "slices") of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting. CT scan - Wikipedia Computed tomography (CT) scanning of the head uses a series of x-rays of the head taken from many different directions; the resulting data is transformed into a series of cross sections of the brain using a computer program. CT images of the head are used to investigate and diagnose brain injuries and other neurological conditions, as well as other conditions involving the skull or sinuses... Computed tomography of the head - Wikipedia A basic problem in imaging with x-rays (or other penetrating radiation) is that a two-dimensional image is obtained of a threedimensional object.this means that structures can overlap in the final image, even though they are completely separate in the object. This is particularly troublesome in medical diagnosis where there are many anatomic structures that can interfere with what the... Computed Tomography - Digital signal processing Computed Tomography (CT) Computed tomography (CT) scanners have been available since the mid-1970s and have revolutionized medical imaging. Today, millions of scans are performed worldwide every year for different clinical questions in a variety of clinical fields. Computed Tomography (CT) - Understanding Medical Radiation Academic Radiology publishes original reports of clinical and laboratory investigations in diagnostic imaging, the diagnostic use of radioactive isotopes, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, digital subtraction angiography, and related techniques.
