It's a CT scan used in medical professions. Basically a 3D X-ray.
Computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging method employing tomography created by computer processing. Digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation.

What advantages does positron emission tomography offer as a nuclear medicine tool?
It is useful in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer because it provides information that cannot be obtained by other techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
What do roots of a willow tree show as they grow toward the water?
Willow tree roots seek out water and have been known to even come out of the ground and grow into a container above ground that holds water. The process of the root going towards the water is called hydropatterning. Computed Tomography is allowing botanists to study this concept.
What does c t stand for in c t scan?
A CAT or CT scan is shorthand for "Computed Axial Tomography". Breaking that down:tomography - a process of developing a cross sectional x-ray view of a "slice" of the bodyaxial - the pictures are taken down the long axis (length) of the bodycomputed - the information for each slice is interpreted by computer to develop each slice and the images of the slices can be manipulated (stacked etc.) for different views
What Geophysical method for subsurface marble exploration?
geoelectric tomography give me good results.
What is seismic tomography?
Seismic imaging is when seismograms take recordings of the Earth's surface. That are mapped into representations of its interior properties. Seismic imaging investigates the physical characteristics that lie underneath the Earth's surface.
What does ct scan mean?
Computed tomography
When was X-ray computed tomography created?
X-ray computed tomography was created in 1972.

What does the medical abbreviation CTA mean?
computed tomography angiography or clear to ausculatation
What does the medical abbreviation SPECT mean?
SPECT stands for single-photon emission computed tomography, a nuclear imaging technique that uses radioactive tracers to create three-dimensional images of internal body structures.
What alternatives are there to venography?
computed tomography

It means they didn't find anything unusual during the CT scan (Computed Tomography) after the Myelogram dye injection.
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.
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'
