Tomografía axial computarizada(TAC) : también conocida como tomodensitometría. Como toda técnica de tomografía, la imagen obtenida por medio de esta técnica [...] es fruto de una reconstrucción matemática mediante una computadora. La TAC se realiza mediante un escáner y la inyección al sujeto en estudio de una sustancia yodada que aumenta el contraste. Existen múltiples emisores de rayos X alrededor del sujeto, que utilizan haces muy estrechos; los detectores se encuentran colocados enfrente del sujeto y recogen los signos radioactivos cuya intensidad dependerá de la densidad del tejido atravesado. Estas intensidades son traducidas por la computadora en tonos de gris obteniendo una imagen en rebanadas del cerebro. 2, record 10, Spanish, - tomograf%C3%ADa%20axial%20computarizada
