Le terme «scanner lent» est à proscrire, «scanner» étant un emprunt inutile à l'anglais. Le terme «tomodensitomètre à deux mouvements» est à éviter parce qu'il peut avoir un autre sens dans ce domaine. En effet, ce terme désigne un principe de fonctionnement commun à deux types différents de tomodensitomètres, c'est-à-dire ceux de première génération et ceux de deuxième génération. 1, record 1, French, - tomodensitom%C3%A8tre%20de%20premi%C3%A8re%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ration
