Preferred term

Tomography, X-Ray Computed  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • Tomography using x-ray transmission and a computer algorithm to reconstruct the image. X-ray computed tomography in which the X-RAY beam is generated by irradiating a TUNGSTEN target ring with a stream of ELECTRONS that is moved across the target electronically rather than mechanically.
