5 Questions
What type of radiation is used in radiography?
X-rays and gamma rays
In conventional radiography, how are two-dimensional images created?
A beam of X-rays is produced and projected towards the object, with captured X-rays detected behind the object.
What technique involves the rotation of an X-ray source and its associated detectors around the subject?
Computed tomography (CT scanning)
What types of images can be generated from information collected in computed tomography (CT scanning)?
$2D$ images on three planes (axial, coronal, and sagittal) which can be further processed to produce a $3D$ image.
What determines the amount of X-rays or other radiation absorbed by an object in radiography?
The object's density and structural composition
