Highly specialized diagnostic X-ray technique that produces cross-sectional images of the inside of the body.
Use of x-rays to examine a cross section of the brain after dye has been injected. The outlines of tumors, blood clots, and hemorrhages can be seen.
( CT-scan or CAT scan) – an x-ray procedure that measures densities of the brain from which a computer generates a two-dimensional picture of a "slice";CT-scans show less detail of the brain than MRIs
A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body taken from different angles; the pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. Also called CAT scan, computed tomography (CT scan), or computerized tomography.
See Computerised Tomography.
A series of X-rays taken at different levels of the brain that allows the direct visualization of the skull and intracranial structures. A scan is often taken soon after the injury to help decide if surgery is needed. The scan may be repeated later to see how the brain is recovering.
An X-ray technique for producing images of internal bodily structures through the assistance of a computer.
See Computed tomography (CAT).
A cross-sectional X-ray technique that produces high-resolution, 3-D images that greatly enhance diagnosis.
a method of examining body organs by scanning them with X rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross-sectional scans along a single axis
Technology that uses computer-guided images from multiple x-rays to produce cross-sectional or three-dimensional pictures of internal organs to identify abnormalities. A CAT scan can identify prostate enlargement, yet is not always effective for assessing the stage of prostate cancer or for evaluating metastases of the lymph nodes or more distant soft tissue sites.
a special radiographic technique that uses a computer to assimilate multiple X-ray images into a 2 dimensional cross sectional image.
A noninvasive diagnostic technique using computer-guided x-rays to examine soft tissues of the body.
An x-ray technique which photographs serial "slices" of tissue, producing detailed scanning.
Detailed pictures of areas of the body created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. Also called computerized tomography scan (CT Scan).
Using a CAT (or CT) scanner to combine x-rays with computer graphic imagery techniques to offer fine-quality images for medical diagnosis of conditions like brain tumor.
Radiology study that produces body images at predetermined planes: imagine slicing a loaf of bread and seeing the details of each slice. The test is also referred to as Computerized Tomography (CT), CAT Scan and CT Scan.
A computer-based procedure that analyzes data obtained by a scanning beam of X rays to provide a picture of a cross-sectional slice through the body or brain.
