Which term was used to refer to CT's cut/slice axial/transverse to the detector when it was first invented in 1937?
CAT (Cross-sectional Axial Transverse)
Which imaging method uses a rotating fan beam, detector array, and computed reconstruction?
Computed Tomography
Which imaging method generates 2D images with x and y axis?
Conventional Imaging
Which imaging method uses x, y, and z axes to generate 3D images?
Computed Tomography
Which term is used to refer to CT's cut/slice axial/transverse to the detector when it was first invented in 1937?
Cross-sectional Axial Transverse
What is the main difference between conventional imaging and CT imaging?
Conventional imaging uses 2D images with x and y axis, while CT imaging uses 3D images with x, y, and z axes.
Which term is used to describe the medical imaging method that employs tomography with the use of geometric reconstruction/analysis to generate 3D images?
Computed Tomography
What is the purpose of a rotating fan beam in CT imaging?
To capture the x-ray (photon) from the patient
What is the function of the detector array in CT imaging?
To generate 2D images with x and y axis
Test your knowledge of the historical development of Computed Tomography (CT) with this quiz. Learn about the medical imaging method that uses geometric reconstruction and analysis to generate 3D images.
