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.

What side effects can computed tomography scans have?
Radiation exposure from a CT scan is similar to, though higher than, that of a conventional x ray. Although this is a risk to pregnant women, the exposure to other adults is minimal and should produce no effects.
