2. CT scan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

   PET-CT scan of chest. Positron emission tomography–computed tomography is a hybrid CT modality which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed (co ...

3. Cone beam computed tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_beam_computed_tomography

   Cone Beam CT scanner. MeSH. D054894. Cone beam computed tomography (or CBCT, also referred to as C-arm CT, cone beam volume CT, flat panel CT or Digital Volume Tomography (DVT)) is a medical imaging technique consisting of X-ray computed tomography where the X-rays are divergent, forming a cone. [1]

4. PET-CT - Wikipedia

   OPS-301 code. 3-75. Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET-CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are ...

5. History of computed tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computed_tomography

   The first computed tomography (CT) system capable of producing images of any part of the human body without the need for a cumbersome "water tank" was the Automatic Computerized Transverse Axial (ACTA) scanner, designed by Dr. Robert S. Ledley, DDS, at Georgetown University. This revolutionary machine was equipped with 30 photomultiplier tubes ...

6. Operation of computed tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_of_computed...

   MeSH. D036542. Spiral computed tomography, or helical computed tomography, is a computed tomography (CT) technology in which the source and detector travel along a helical path relative to the object. Typical implementations involve moving the patient couch through the bore of the scanner whilst the gantry rotates.

7. High-resolution computed tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_computed...

   High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a type of computed tomography (CT) with specific techniques to enhance image resolution. It is used in the diagnosis of various health problems, though most commonly for lung disease, by assessing the lung parenchyma. [1] On the other hand, HRCT of the temporal bone is used to diagnose various ...
