What do computed tomography scans do?
CT scans are used to image a wide variety of body structures and internal organs.
What is the machine used to image the heart?
You can image the heart using: echocardiogram, Magnetic Resonance Image, Computer Tomography Scanning
What does the C in CT stand for?
Computer Tomography
What is a SPECT scan?
Single photon emission tomography
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.
What do computed tomography scans do?
CT scans are used to image a wide variety of body structures and internal organs.
What is positron emission tomography used to diagnose?
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans are used in hospital mainly to detect cancers, especially cancers that have metastasised or spread into surrounding tissue.
What is the fullform of cat scanner which is used in medical instrument?
Computed Axial Tomography
Which imaging technique is used to obtain cross-sectional views of the body?
computed tomography
Which imaging system combines tomography with radionuclide tracers?
positron emission tomography

How can seismic tomography help scientists find oil deposits?
It helps because seismic tomography is a technique used to look beneath Earth's crust so, they can technically "see" where oil deposits are located.
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)
