What is a scanner?

A CT (computed tomography) scanner is a type of X-Ray machine. Instead of a single X-rays through your body with X-rays, multiple blocks simultaneously from different angles.
How does a scanner work?
X-ray radiation, detected after being implemented through the body and the force is measured.
Chain, through the fabric as tight as the lungs are stronger, while the blocks of

tissue were denser than the bones become weaker.
A computer can use this information to the relative density of the tissues investigated. Each set of measures by the scanner is in fact a cross-section through the body.

The computer processes the results, which show how an image in two dimensions on a monitor. The technique of computed tomography was developed by the British inventor Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, who received the Nobel Prize for his work.

What tomodensitogrammes used?
CT scans are more accurate than the X-rays. The information from these two sizes of the images by computer may re-generate images in three dimensions by some modern CT scanners. They can be used for the production of virtual images that show how a …
