TomographyComputed

Tomography Computed refers to the process and technology used in computed tomography (CT) scans. CT is a medical imaging technique that uses X-ray technology to create cross-sectional images, or "slices," of the body. These slices can then be digitally reconstructed to create three-dimensional images of internal structures. The "computed" aspect highlights the essential role of computers in processing the X-ray data and generating the final images. A CT scanner consists of an X-ray tube and a detector array that rotate around the patient. As the X-rays pass through the body, different tissues absorb them to varying degrees. The detectors measure the intensity of the X-rays that emerge from the body. This data is then sent to a computer, which uses complex algorithms to reconstruct the attenuation values for each point within the scanned slice. These values are translated into shades of gray on the final image, allowing for visualization of bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels. Tomography Computed has revolutionized medical diagnosis, enabling the detection and assessment of a wide range of conditions, from tumors and fractures to internal bleeding and organ abnormalities.
