computer-assisted tomography , auch: computerised axial tomography

There are two principal methods of obtaining such images, conventional and computer-assisted tomography.

It uses advanced computer-assisted tomography scanning, like the CT scan technology widely used in medicine.

In computer-assisted tomography, a computer processes data received from radiation detectors and computationally constructs an image of the structures being scanned.

Computer-assisted tomography (CT) to scan the central nervous system using an x-ray technique which can detect areas of demyelination.

A computer-assisted tomography (CT) scanning analysis was performed to determine the initial fracture geometry and monitor the closure process.

The commission also reviewed results of a 2005 medical examination of Konenishvili, which included a computer-assisted tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, and x-rays.

A review of the records of 23 chiropractic patients who underwent lumbar computer-assisted tomography (CT) scans is reported.

The company makes diagnostic imaging equipment, from ultrasound and magnetic resonance scanners to computer-assisted tomography, which can show the action of a beating heart in three dimensions.

He conducted pioneering work on special-purpose architecture and collaborated with the Mayo Clinic on development of Computer-Assisted Tomography (CAT).

Dr. Di Chiro was a pioneer in imaging the central nervous system, specifically in the use of computer-assisted tomography, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

For the benefit of those considering the acquisition of these technologies, the report also contains detailed technical specifications for ultrasound and computer-assisted tomography scanners suitable for use in developing countries.

X-RAYS themselves, and the more recent MRI's and computer-assisted tomography (known as CAT or CT scans), have found their way into art.

Ultrasound and computer-assisted tomography were the subjects of a WHO report, entitled "Future Use of New Imaging Technologies in Developing Countries" (WHO 1985).

The most common tracer is fluorodeoxyglucose which, after intravenous injection, is taken up by glucose-requiring tissues such as the brain and most malignant tumors; computer-assisted tomography can then be used for detailed imaging.

Clinical Trial Report: The Use of Coronary CT Angiography to Evaluate Chest Pain Patients-The ROMICAT (Rule Out Myocardial Infarction using Computer-Assisted Tomography) Study.

By using information from a computer-assisted tomography scan, or CAT scan, of the colon taken from outside the abdomen Dr. Kaufman produces clear computerized images that he can "fly through," search for bumps and other abnormalities, sample tissues and delve beneath the surfaces of polyps.

Conventional tomography uses mechanical means to record an image directly onto X-ray film, while in computer-assisted tomography, a computer processes information fed to it from detectors then constructs a virtual image which can be stored in digital format and can be displayed on a screen, or printed on paper or film.
