AWhat changed
Combined X-ray measurements from many angles with computation to reconstruct cross-sectional absorption images and distinguish soft tissues.
Scientific scope
Combined X-ray measurements from many angles with computation to reconstruct cross-sectional absorption images and distinguish soft tissues. Scope limitation: This record describes Hounsfield’s system. Mathematical reconstruction foundations, clinical evaluation and later scanners remain separate contributions.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. This record describes Hounsfield’s system. Mathematical reconstruction foundations, clinical evaluation and later scanners remain separate contributions.
