Imaging Equipment: Chapter 28-Computed Tomography (CT)
what is performed by moving a tube and an IR around a point of focus? - correct answer ✔✔computed
tomography
what is considered axial tomography because the plane of the image is parallel with the long axis of the
body? - correct answer ✔✔conventional tomography
what is it called when images are produced perpendicular with the long axis of the body and is also
called transverse tomography? - correct answer ✔✔transaxial tomography
why is it called "computed tomography"? - correct answer ✔✔because it was created by a computer
who developed computed tomography? - correct answer ✔✔an engineer named Godfry Newbold
Hounsfield
when and where did Hounsfield develop computed tomography? - correct answer ✔✔in England in the
late 1960s
when was the first CT brain machine used? - correct answer ✔✔used in clinical studies in 1971
when was the CT scanner able to be used diagnostically? - correct answer ✔✔in the 1980s with the
invention of supercomputers

✔✔2nd generation
, what are the advantages and disadvantages between the 1st and 2nd generation CT scanners? - correct
answer ✔✔advantage- it was much faster
disadvantage- increased scatter radiation
what generations of CT scanners used linear array? - correct answer ✔✔first and second

what generation of CT scanners utilizes many rows of detectors and constant movement of the tube
along with advanced interpolation and extrapolation algorithms to produce images? - correct answer
✔✔5th generation
what uses slip ring technology for continuous movement of the x-ray tube and is also called multi-slice or
helical tomography? - correct answer ✔✔5th generation CT scanners
what are the two processes for reconstruction? - correct answer ✔✔interpolation and extrapolation
