Computerized axial tomography scan. CAT scanning is a painless X-ray test in which a computer generates cross-section views of a patient's anatomy. It can identify normal and abnormal structures, and it can be used to guide procedures. Iodine-containing contrast material is sometimes used in CAT scanning. A patient who is allergic to iodine or [..]

A conventional computerized axial tomography scan (CAT scan or CT scan) is an x-ray procedure which combines many x-ray images with the aid of a computer to generate cross-sectional views and, if needed, three-dimensional images of the internal organs and structures of the body. A CAT scan is used to define normal and abnormal structures in the bod [..]

A procedure that uses a computer linked to an x-ray machine to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. The pictures are taken from different angles and are used to create 3-dimens [..]

Computerized axial tomography, an X-ray technique that produces a film showing a detailed cross-section of tissue.

See computed tomography (CT).

A CAT Scan is "Computerized Axial Tomography" (also known as a CT Scan), which is a process of using computers to make a 3-dimensional image from a 2-dimensional picture (X-ray). During the [..]

A test using computers and x-rays to create images of various parts of the body.

Computed Tomography modalities which use a cone or pyramid-shaped beam of Radiation.

Three-dimensional computed tomographic imaging with the added dimension of Time, to follow Motion during imaging.

Tomography using radioactive emissions from injected Radionuclides and computer Algorithms to reconstruct an image.

A method of computed Tomography that uses Radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy. The camera is rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the Patient to capture images at multiple position [..]

Computed Tomography where there is continuous X-ray exposure to the Patient while being transported in a spiral or helical pattern through the beam of irradiation. This provides improved three-dimensi [..]

Modality of computed Tomography in which the Patient is irradiated in a spiral path around the body with a cone or pyramid-shaped beam.

Tomography using x-ray transmission and a computer Algorithm to reconstruct the image.

A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body taken from different angles. The pic-tures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. Also called computed tomo-graphy scan, computerized axial tomography scan, computerized tomography, and CT scan. (NCI)

A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body taken from different angles. The pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. Also called computed tomography scan, computerized axial tomography scan, computerized tomography, and CT scan.

computerized axial tomography. A special kind of x-ray for looking at the soft organs in the body, such as the liver. A three-dimensional image of a body structure is constructed by computer from a series of cross-sectional images made along an axis. Also referred to as a CT scan.

Use of a computer to produce a cross-sectional view of the anatomical part being investigated from X-ray data.

Computerized axial tomography.

A high-resolution radiographic (x-ray) test that examines the body in cross-sectional perspectives.

A sectional x-ray used to picture the brain and other organs and structures, such as the kidneys and hips. Enlargement of the brain’s ventricles, as shown by this test, may indicate a problem with a shunt. CAT scan may be used to help determine placement of a shunt.
