Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of tomography in medical imaging?

  • To measure blood flow within the body's organs
  • To provide a three-dimensional view of a patient's body without any incisions
  • To create detailed ‘slices’ of the area scanned using X-rays and computer processing (correct)
  • To generate two-dimensional images using only ultrasound
  • Which of the following technologies is NOT typically used in tomography?

  • Computer processing
