But look up here in the corner on this tomogram."

He ordered a more sophisticated X-ray study, a tomogram.

A chest tomogram can show certain problems with the lungs, such as tumors or the breakdown of tissue.

MRI may also show early organ invasion which cannot be detected on computed tomogram.

A device used in tomography is called a tomograph, while the image produced is a tomogram.

Tomography is the method of imaging a single plane, or slice, of an object resulting in a tomogram.

First, acquiring an interpretable 3D tomogram requires that the projected image intensities vary monotonically with material thickness.

A chest tomogram is a picture of the chest area created by moving the x-ray machine in one direction while moving the recording film the other way.

Electron microscopic tomogram of dividing cells of the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum tepidum, with chlorosomes rendered in simulated color.

The tomogram indicated that there were signs of healing of the fracture, but there was also evidence that the union of the two pieces was not complete.

However, MRI is currently used as second line investigation, for example to characterise a known liver lesion seen on computed tomogram rather than for full abdominal staging.

Furthermore, the ability to image in multiple planes is particularly valuable in the pelvis, where extension of a rumour into adjacent structures may not be detected on a cross sectional computed tomogram.

In CT, an X-ray generating tube opposite an X-ray detector (or detectors) in a ring shaped apparatus rotate around a patient producing a computer generated cross-sectional image (tomogram).

Optical Coherence Tomography tomogram of fingertip, depicting stratum corneum ( 500 m thick) with stratum disjunctum on top and stratum lucidum (connection to stratum spinosum) in the middle.

In addition, MRI may show extension of the tumour through the chest wall which cannot readily be seen on computed tomogram because of the lack of contrast between the tumour and chest wall muscles.

UIP may be diagnosed by a radiologist using a computed tomogram of the chest (CT scan of the chest), or by a pathologist using tissue obtained by a lung biopsy.

Taking a Little 'Slice' of Your Heart BODY scanning uses computed tomography, known as CT, in which computer software translates an X-ray image into a digitized cross-section, or "slice," called a tomogram.

Tests like the electron beam tomogram, which checks for calcification in the arteries, and the measure of homocysteine and C-reactive protein, or CRP, fall into the category of "promising but not proven," Dr. Calonge said.

CT, industrial CT, MRI, or Micro-CT scanners do not produce point clouds but a set of 2D slices (each termed a "tomogram") which are then 'stacked together' to produce a 3D representation.

No biopsy was performed in the other cases but the lung opacity on the chest x ray or computed tomogram had the same macroscopic aspect as in the cases of proved lung lymphoma and responded to chemotherapy as well as the gastric lesion.
