Computed Tomography
Introduction
Computed Tomography or computed axial tomography (CAT or CT scan) began in 1970's using x-ray and a computer to produce images either as individual slices or reconstructed to give three dimensional (3D) views of specific anatomical regions or structures.
In embryology, the technique of micro-CT (μCT) has recently begun to become relevant in the analysis of normal development features and those seen in genetically modified animal models, such as the mouse (More? Mouse Development).
Other potential developmental research imaging techniques include: positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, optical bioluminescence, fluorescence and high frequency ultrasound.
