Tomography refers to the method of producing images of plane sections, or slices of a solid object. The word is derived from Greek tomos meaning section.
At this point let me introduce a few common medical imaging modalities:
- Anatomical Imaging Modalities
- Chest X-ray
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Functional Imaging Modalities
- Signal Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT)
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
- Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
Anatomical imaging modalities only reveal the structure of an object, Figure 1, for example, compares MRI scans of two patients. Functional imaging modalities can differentiate between active and inactive cells. Figure 2 shows an fMRI scan of a woman's brain after a stroke.
