Conventional x-ray tomography is an technique to make an x-ray image of a certain "slice" in a persons body in which the slices above and below are blurred. This is different from a conventional x-ray where all slices are stacked on top of eachother.

Nowadays, computed tomography has rendered conventional tomography obsolete.
