Parent topics
- Computer [r]: A machine that executes a sequence of instructions. [e]
- Tomography [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Computed tomography [r]: An imaging technique that computes three-dimensional representations of an object from a series of two-dimensional x-ray images. [e]
- X-ray [r]: An ionizing type of electromagnetic radiation whose absorption or diffraction often used for structural investigations of matter. [e]
Subtopics
- Computed tomographic cardiac angiography [r]: Imaging method that uses a computed tomography (CT) scanner to look at the structures and blood vessels of the heart. [e]
- Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography [r]: Imaging method that uses a computed tomography (CT) scanner to look at the structures and blood vessels of the lungs. [e]
- Positron emission tomography-computed tomography fusion scanning [r]: A multi-modal medical imaging technique that scans the patient with X-ray computed tomography and positron emission tomography scanners mounted on the same gantry, so the images from both systems are in the same anatomical plane; the two methods complement one another, but sometimes additional analysis of a pure CT scan, occasionally in another plane, is necessary to rule out certain artifacts [e]
- Bone density [r]: A measurement that approximates the quantity of mineral per square centimeter of bone [e]
- Brain concussion [r]: A nonspecific term used to describe transient alterations or loss of consciousness following closed head injuries. [e]
- Magnetic resonance imaging [r]: The use of magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation to visualize internal structures of non-magnetic objects non-destructively. [e]
- Neuroimaging [r]: A group of techniques used to visualize structure and function of nervous systems, especially the vertebrate brain. [e]
- Positron emission tomography [r]: A medical imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. [e]
- Conrad Röntgen [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Electromagnetic spectrum [r]: The range of electromagnetic waves covering all frequencies and wavelengths. [e]
- Image reconstruction [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Backscattering [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Ionizing radiation [r]: Subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that are energetic enough to detach electrons from atoms or molecules, ionizing them. [e]
- Radiation detector [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Hounsfield unit [r]: Add brief definition or description
