A form of x-ray which creates cross-sectional images. X-ray beams pass through the body at different angles and are then recorded by detectors and channeled into a computer which produces cross-sectional views at different planes. 7, record 4, English, - computerized%20axial%20tomography
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
As the x-ray tube and detector make this 360° rotation, the detector takes numerous snapshots (called profiles) of the attenuated x-ray beam. Typically, in one 360° lap, about 1,000 profiles are sampled. Each profile is subdivided spatially (divided into partitions) by the detectors and fed into about 700 individual channels. Each profile is then backwards reconstructed (or "back projected") by a dedicated computer into a two-dimensional image of the "slice" that was scanned. 8, record 4, English, - computerized%20axial%20tomography

[Dans la méthode de la] tomographie axiale transverse avec ordinateur, la zone à observer est divisée théoriquement en couches parallèles. Un étroit faisceau de rayons X balaie une couche sous tous les angles en tournant autour de la partie du corps étudiée, tandis qu'un détecteur placé dans le prolongement du faisceau après sa traversée du corps mesure l'intensité des rayons X transmis. L'ordinateur, ayant mémorisé les atténuations de la couche selon toutes les directions du faisceau, reconstruit l'image en coupe de la couche. 7, record 4, French, - tomodensitom%C3%A9trie

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 4, Spanish, - tomograf%C3%ADa%20axial%20computarizada
