Which imaging technology can be defined as the radiographic technique of obtaining slices or sections of a body part that are combined in a computer to create an enhanced presentation of that body part?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This type of imaging technology is called computed tomography (CT). CT scans use X-rays and a computer to create detailed images of the body. The X-ray tube rotates around the body part, taking multiple images that are combined to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the body. These slices can then be stacked together to create a 3-dimensional image of the body part. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create images, plain film uses traditional X-ray technology, and ultrasonography uses high-frequency sound waves to create images. None of these technologies involve obtaining slices that are combined in a computer to create an enhanced presentation of a body part.
