2. CT scan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

   A computed tomography scan (CT scan), formerly called computed axial tomography scan (CAT scan), is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body. [2] The personnel that perform CT scans are called radiographers or radiology technologists.

3. Computed tomography laser mammography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_Tomography_Laser...

   The sensitivity of mammography, CTLM and mammography + CTLM was 34.4%, 74.4% and 81.57% respectively among extremely dense breasts and 68.29%, 85.00% and 95.34% respectively among heterogeneously dense breasts. [12] The combination of CTLM and mammography is able to distinguish between benign and malignant tumors with higher accuracy.

4. Breast imaging - Wikipedia

   Schematic image showing a woman undergoing a mammogram imaging examination. In medicine, breast imaging is a sub-speciality of diagnostic radiology that involves imaging of the breasts for screening or diagnostic purposes. There are various methods of breast imaging using a variety of technologies as described in detail below.

5. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

   X-ray computed tomography (CT), or Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scan, is a helical tomography technique (latest generation), which traditionally produces a 2D image of the structures in a thin section of the body. In CT, a beam of X-rays spins around an object being examined and is picked up by sensitive radiation detectors after having ...

7. Full-body CT scan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-body_CT_scan

   A full-body scan is a scan of the patient's entire body as part of the diagnosis or treatment of illnesses. If computed tomography ( CAT ) scan technology is used, it is known as a full-body CT scan , though many medical imaging technologies can perform full-body scans.

8. 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 ...

9. Cone-beam spiral computed tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone-beam_spiral_computed...

   Cone-beam spiral computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technology that has impacted healthcare since its development in the early 1990s. [1] [2] This technology offers advancements over traditional fan-beam CT, including faster scanning speed, higher image quality, and the ability to generate true three-dimensional volumes, even with contrast-enhancement.
