CTskanner
CTskanner is a computed tomography device used in medical imaging to generate cross sectional images of the human body. It combines X-ray tubes and detectors arranged around a rotating gantry, collecting attenuation data as the gantry spins. Modern CTskanners often use multi-slice detectors and helical scanning to acquire volumetric data rapidly, which can be reconstructed into axial, coronal, and sagittal slices as well as three‑dimensional renderings.
Operation relies on the emission of X-rays, their passage through the body, and detection of transmitted photons.
Applications span trauma assessment, cancer diagnosis and staging, cardiovascular evaluation, lung imaging, and musculoskeletal studies. They
Safety and limitations: CT involves ionizing radiation; dose optimization and justification are essential. Contrast-enhanced CT uses
History: CT originated in the 1970s with work by Godfrey Hounsfield and Allan Cormack. Since then, CT
