Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Computed tomography (CT) uses an x-ray emitter that rotates around the area to be scanned, providing detailed images of the internal structures. It is commonly used to detect diseases of the endocrine glands such as tumors or nodules. MRI, fluoroscopy and radiography do not involve rotation of the emitter around the body part, and are not the most appropriate imaging techniques for this purpose.
