Computed Tomography

6.2K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Physics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Traditional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) models struggle with X-ray scattering, causing artifacts like cupping and streaks.
