What CT Measures
CT measures how X-rays pass through the body. It also detects differences in tissue density. These measurements create cross-sectional images.
How CT Creates Slices
CT creates slices by rotating an X-ray tube around the patient. Detectors capture data from multiple angles. A computer reconstructs these into images.
Why CT Shows High Detail
CT shows high detail because it uses thin slices. It also highlights bone and soft tissue clearly. This makes CT ideal for many exams.
Limitations of CT Physics
Limitations include radiation exposure. It also struggles with metal artifacts. Awareness supports safe use.
