Computed TomographyComputed Tomography
CT uses a rotating x-ray tube, with the beam CT uses a rotating x-ray tube, with the beam in the form of a thin slice (about 1 - 10 mm)in the form of a thin slice (about 1 - 10 mm)
The “image” is a simple array of x-ray The “image” is a simple array of x-ray intensity (Projections), and many hundreds of intensity (Projections), and many hundreds of these are used to make the CT image, which these are used to make the CT image, which is a “slice” through the patientis a “slice” through the patient
