Initially using the x rays to scan layers of the area in question, with computer assisted tomography a computer then analyzes data of all layers to construct a 3D image of the object.

What year was computed tomography invented?
Computed Tomography was invented in 1967. Godgrey Hounsfield at EMI Ltd was researching pattern recognition and computer image reconstruction. He is considered the father of CT.
Positron-emission tomography forms images of body tissues this is known as what?
PET scan
Why need positron?
Positrons are used for 'PET', a medical imaging tomography technique. The positrons are produced in the radioactive decay of Sodium 22.
Antimatter practical use for pet scans?
Technically yes; but the amounts of anti-electrons (also called "positrons") is truly tiny. PET is an acronym for Positron Emission Tomography.
What are the disadvantages of PET scanning?
They only work with cross sectional area, not 3D. They are also not completely accurate because the resultant photons are not reflected in completely opposite directions, but have some margain of error.
Which imaging system combines tomography with radionuclide tracers?
positron emission tomography
When was Geophysical Tomography Group created?
Geophysical Tomography Group was created in 1985.

When was X-ray computed tomography created?
X-ray computed tomography was created in 1972.
Which imagining system combines tomography with radionuclide tracers to produce enhanced images of selected body organs or areas?
positron-emission tomography(PET Scan)

What is another name for CT scans?
Computed tomography is also known as computerized axial tomography or CAT scan
What does the A in CAT scan represent?
'Computer-Assisted Tomography' These days it tends to be called CT which stands for 'Computed Tomography'

what is Full form of cat scan?
if this helps , I'm not sure it will but ct stands for computed tomography Computerized Axial Tomography
