Le principe de la tomographie consiste à déplacer en sens inverse la source de rayons X et le film selon un mouvement identique et symétrique par rapport à un plan qui constitue le plan de la coupe à étudier; seul ce dernier apparaîtra sur le cliché, les plans antérieurs ou postérieurs étant effacés. On peut, grâce à ce procédé, réaliser des séries de coupes tomographiques de profondeurs différentes, et permettant d'étudier le «volume» d'une image radiologique plane. 1, record 1, French, - tomographie
