(Computerized Tomography or Computerized Axial Tomography) - A type of X-ray that uses an advanced computer system to analyze the X-rays as they pass through the body. This analysis produces much clearer pictures than a standard X-ray machine and allows the doctor to more clearly distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues.

A x-ray procedure that uses a computer to produce a detailed picture of a cross section of the body.

A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine.

A computer assisted tomography scan is an X-ray procedure that uses a computer to produce detailed pictures of the body.

A diagnostic procedure that combines an x-ray with a computer to produce highly-detailed cross-sectional, three-dimensional pictures of the entire body. These tests are generally 100 times more sensitive than x-rays.

(Computerized Axial Tomography) A sophisticated type of x-ray that creates cross-sections of your body. It typically also uses some form of contrast such as iodine.

A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body produced by a computer linked to a x-ray machine. Also called computed tomography scan or computed axial tomography scan.

computer assisted tomography, a non-invasive imaging procedure

A method of imaging in which a computer is used to reconstruct the anatomic features of an organ or tissue.

An x-ray device linked to a computer that produces an image of a predetermined cross-section of the brain. A special dye material may be injected into the patientâ€(tm)s vein prior to the scan to help make any abnormal tissue more evident.

Special X-ray that uses computers to produce detailed pictures of a cross section of the body

A special X-ray technique that uses a computer to incorporate multiple X-ray images into a two-dimensional cross-sectional image.
