Imaging by sections or sectioning.
Radiological imaging of serial planes (“cuts”) through an anatomical structure.
A noninvasive technique designed to show detailed images of internal structures in a selected plane of the body.
The scanning of a particular part of the body using X-rays or ultrasound.
Procedure of making a radiographic image of a selected physical plane for diagnostic purposes.
An x-ray technique that attempts to image the body in three dimensions.
The technique of using X-rays or ultrasound waves to produce an image of structures at a particular depth within the body, bringing them into sharp focus while deliberately blurring structures at other depths. The visual record of this technique is called a tomogram.
A technique using CT scan, x-rays or ultrasound to build up a focused image of a ‘slice’ through the body at a given level. By producing a series of such slices at different depths, a three-dimensional image of the body structures can be built up.
A method utilized to generate a clear and focused image of structures located at a particular depth within the body, while intentionally blurring details at different depths.
A method of imaging that generates a cross-sectional depiction or “slice” of an organ or a specific area. Contemporary tomography primarily involves the utilization of CT scanning and MRI, resulting in precise and intricate visual representations.
