Computerized axial tomography (CAT) is a radiologic imaging modality that uses computer processing to generate an image of the tissue density in a "slice" as thin as 1 to 10 mm in thickness through the patient's body.

What r other advances in medical technology used to treat the heart?
computed tomography iconography heart scan pulmonary vein isolation
What is the cost of a Computed tomography scan?
If you don't have any insurance, the cost of a CT (with injectable contrast) is around $3,000. Without the contrast, knock off about $130.
What technology allows the detection of very small tumors?
Liver tumors as small as an inch across can now be detected by ultrasound or computed tomography scan (CT scan).
What is a CT scanner?
Computed Tomography Imaging known as a CT scan (or CAT scan) is a particular type of x-ray that uses multiple x-ray beams at different angles to build up a cross section of the body's organs and tissues.
Which imaging system combines tomography with radionuclide tracers?
positron emission tomography
What is another name for CT scans?
Computed tomography is also known as computerized axial tomography or CAT scan
What is the fullform of cat scanner which is used in medical instrument?
Computed Axial 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
What is the full form of CATand MRI?
CAT: Computed Axial Tomography MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
What does Cat in Catscan means?
CAT scan - Computed Axial Tomography. Usually called "CT scan" now, as the images can be axial, sagittal or coronal/frontal.
Is cat scan an acronym?
CAT scan used to be short for Computerized Axial Tomography. Think of this as using computers to map the body in the axial plane. (axial is a direction that the image is processed in). The newer machines not only do axial but also multiple other imaging planes (coronal,sagital,biplane,multi plane,etc.) So now they dropped the "axial" and just call it CT scan short for Computerized Tomography.
When was X-ray computed tomography created?
X-ray computed tomography was created in 1972.
What do computed tomography scans do?
CT scans are used to image a wide variety of body structures and internal organs.
What is a ct-scan?
A Computed Tomography Scan, also known as Computed Axial Tomography or CAT Scan, uses X rays and computers to produce detailed images of the inside of a body. It provides three-dimensional views of the body's soft tissues such as blood vessels, muscles, and organs.
