Illustration of a CT (computed tomography) scanner. CT scanners use a rotating X-ray tube and a row of detectors placed in a gantry (white circle) to measure X-ray attenuations by different tissues inside the body. The multiple X-ray measurements taken from different angles are then processed on a computer using reconstruction algorithms to produce cross-sectional images of the body. | |
