  2. CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    This makes CT scan the most appropriate term, which is used by radiologists in common vernacular as well as in textbooks and scientific papers. [218] [219] [220] In Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), computed axial tomography was used from 1977 to 1979, but the current indexing explicitly includes X-ray in the title. [221]

  3. Electron beam computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_beam_computed...

    Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) is a fifth generation computed tomography (CT) scanner in which the X-ray tube is not mechanically spun in order to rotate the source of X-ray photons. This different design was explicitly developed to better image heart structures that never stop moving, performing a complete cycle of movement with each ...

  6. Operation of computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_of_computed...

    In conventional CT machines, an X-ray tube and detector are physically rotated behind a circular shroud (see the image above right). An alternative, short lived design, known as electron beam tomography (EBT), used electromagnetic deflection of an electron beam within a very large conical X-ray tube and a stationary array of detectors to achieve very high temporal resolution, for imaging of ...

  7. Tomographic reconstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomographic_reconstruction

    A set of many such projections under different angles organized in 2D is called a sinogram (see Fig. 3). In X-ray CT, the line integral represents the total attenuation of the beam of X-rays as it travels in a straight line through the object. As mentioned above, the resulting image is a 2D (or 3D) model of the attenuation coefficient.

  9. History of computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computed_tomography

    The first production X-ray CT machine (in fact called the "EMI-Scanner") was limited to making tomographic sections of the brain, but acquired the image data in about 4 minutes (scanning two adjacent slices), and the computation time (using a Data General Nova minicomputer) was about 7 minutes per picture.
