What is CT?
CT, or Computed Tomography, is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It is commonly used to diagnose a wide range of conditions, including infections, injuries, and diseases of the bones, blood vessels, and internal organs. It works by taking multiple X-ray images from different angles and then using computer processing to construct a 3D image.
What other technologies are related to CT?
CT Competitor Technologies
MRI
MRI provides detailed anatomical images but uses magnetic fields and radio waves instead of X-rays. It is often used as an alternative to CT, especially when radiation exposure is a concern.
ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images and does not involve radiation. It can often be used as an alternative for specific applications.
Mammography
Mammography is a specific type of X-ray imaging used for breast cancer screening. While CT can be used for breast imaging, mammography is generally preferred due to lower dose and higher resolution for breast tissue.
MRT
MRT is the German abbreviation for MRI (Magnetic Resonance Tomography), and it offers similar functionality as MRI using magnetic fields and radio waves.
X-Ray
X-rays use radiation to image the body. CT uses X-rays too, but in a more complex way to acquire cross-sectional images. Regular X-ray can be used as an alternative for certain diagnoses.
Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of internal structures. While CT provides static cross-sectional images, fluoroscopy offers dynamic imaging. Sometimes they can be used in place of each other.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine uses radioactive tracers to visualize physiological processes. While CT excels in anatomical detail, nuclear medicine focuses on function. In some situations, nuclear medicine can be used as an alternative.
PET
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique that uses radioactive tracers to detect diseases like cancer, heart problems and brain disorders. It competes with CT in these disease diagnostics.
