Computerized Tomography (CT)

Computerized Tomography (CT)

Computerized Tomography (CT) is a direction in diagnostic radiology intended for examining the soft tissues of the body. For example, with the help of computed tomography, pathological changes in the brain (tumor, abscess, hematoma) can be detected directly through the bones of the skull. Computed tomography consists of recording sections of the human body using an X-ray scanner (computed tomograph (CT scanner)); this recording is then combined by computer to produce a single cross-sectional image. This study poses absolutely no danger to the patient.

For comparison: positron emission tomography (PET).

Computed tomography is a branch of diagnostic radiology used to examine the soft tissues of the human body. It allows detection of pathological changes such as tumors, abscesses and hematomas directly through bones and other hard tissues.

CT scanning is based on recording slices of the body with a CT scanner, which then combines this data into a single cross-sectional image. This test does not pose any danger to patients as it does not require the use of radiation or other harmful substances.

Unlike CT scans, positron emission tomography uses radioactive substances to create images of the body's internal structure. However, PET has its limitations, such as higher cost and the need to use radioactive substances that can be harmful to health.

Computed tomography (CT) is a method of studying the internal organs of a person, based on X-rays or enhanced visualization of the body using a combination of X-ray computer images and obtaining cross-sectional images of the physical body for research, which are created from passing rays. Depending on the X-ray material used to perform the procedure, CT scans are classified into several different procedures. CT scans are usually done to separate X-rays or gamma rays into two types - either X-rays passing through the body or X-rays interacting with a person. When performing computed tomography to form x-ray images to create a transverse
