Computer-assisted
tomography is a diagnostic tool which uses
x-rays to generate detailed images of "slices"
of the body. In a CT scan, the patient lies
still on a table while the x-ray source and
sensors/detectors rotate around the patient,
and the table moves horizontally. Thus, x-ray
data is collected from multiple angles. Computers
process the x-ray data in order to generate
detailed, composite images of the relevant
'slices' of the body. These examinations are
performed by certified x-ray technologists,
and every examination is directly supervised
and interpreted by board certified specialists
in diagnostic radiology. |
