Tomography

A medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and computers to create cross-sectional 'slices' of a body part.

Non-invasive

A procedure that does not involve cutting or entering the body.

X-rays

A type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through the body and create images of bones and tissues.

Computer processing

Using computers to analyze and reconstruct the X-ray data into images.
