Abstract:Computed tomography (CT), through the use of ionizing radiation, allows us to assess the different parts of the body. It is made up of an X-ray tube that rotates rapidly around the patient generating the radiation beam. This is attenuated with the patient producing information, which is collected by the detectors that are opposite to the tube located in the gantry (part of the tomography equipment); finally, these collected data are sent to the computer that will reconstruct the information obtained and will r… Show more
