Computed Tomography: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:46, 9 April 2010

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.This page currently has links to x-ray micro-CT movies of early mouse development. (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.
