  2. CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    A computed tomography scan (CT scan; formerly called computed axial tomography scan or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body. [2] The personnel that perform CT scans are called radiographers or radiology technologists.

  3. History of computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computed_tomography

    The first computed tomography (CT) system capable of producing images of any part of the human body without the need for a cumbersome "water tank" was the Automatic Computerized Transverse Axial (ACTA) scanner, designed by Dr. Robert S. Ledley, DDS, at Georgetown University. This revolutionary machine was equipped with 30 photomultiplier tubes ...

  4. Cone beam computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_beam_computed_tomography

    Cone Beam CT scanner. MeSH. D054894. Cone beam computed tomography (or CBCT, also referred to as C-arm CT, cone beam volume CT, flat panel CT or Digital Volume Tomography (DVT)) is a medical imaging technique consisting of X-ray computed tomography where the X-rays are divergent, forming a cone. [ 1]

  5. PET-CT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET-CT

    OPS-301 code. 3-75. Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET-CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are ...

  6. Full-body CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-body_CT_scan

    Full-body CT scan. A full-body scan is a scan of the patient's entire body as part of the diagnosis or treatment of illnesses. If computed tomography ( CAT) scan technology is used, it is known as a full-body CT scan, though many medical imaging technologies can perform full-body scans.

  7. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    Medical imaging is the technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues ( physiology ). Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease.

  8. Operation of computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_of_computed...

    In conventional CT machines, an X-ray tube and detector are physically rotated behind a circular shroud (see the image above right). An alternative, short lived design, known as electron beam tomography (EBT), used electromagnetic deflection of an electron beam within a very large conical X-ray tube and a stationary array of detectors to achieve very high temporal resolution, for imaging of ...

  9. High-resolution computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_computed...

    Low-dose high-resolution (1.25 mm) chest CT. HRCT is performed using a conventional CT scanner. However, imaging parameters are chosen so as to maximize spatial resolution: [1] a narrow slice width is used (usually 1–2 mm), a high spatial resolution image reconstruction algorithm is used, field of view is minimized, so as to minimize the size of each pixel, and other scan factors (e.g. focal ...
