X-Ray Computed Tomography (C0040405)

Definition (NCI) A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body; the pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine.
Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Computed tomography (CT) is a diagnostic procedure that uses special X-ray equipment to create cross-sectional pictures of your body. CT images are produced using X-ray technology and powerful computers.

The uses of CT include looking for

  • Broken bones
  • Cancers
  • Blood clots
  • Signs of heart disease
  • Internal bleeding

During a CT scan, you lie still on a table. The table slowly passes through the center of a large X-ray machine. The test is painless. During some tests you receive a contrast dye, which makes parts of your body show up better in the image.

NIH: National Cancer Institute
Definition (MSH) Tomography using x-ray transmission and a computer algorithm to reconstruct the image.
Definition (CSP) radiography in which a three dimensional image of a body structure is constructed by computer from a series of plane cross sectional images made along an axis.
Definition (HL7V3.0) Computed axial tomography
Definition (NCI) A method of examining body organs by scanning them with X rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross-sectional scans along a single axis.
Definition (NCI) A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body; the pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine.
