Computed tomography (password)
From WikiLectures
CT ( computed tomography ) is a diagnostic method where we measure the intensity of a narrow beam of X-ray radiation that has passed through the patient's body in different directions.
The computer calculates the image from the measured values .
The radiation source is gradually rotated 180° around the patient's body at small angles, so that each incision is irradiated from many directions. The computer then calculates the absorption values at a certain point of the transmittance plane and displays the values in a certain color or brightness on the display.
The radiation detectors in CT equipment are very sensitive and distinguish a large number of radiation intensities , i.e. the image is better.
