Chapter 11: Computed Tomography - Human Health Campus
humanhealth.iaea.orgClinical Computed Tomography (CT) was introduced in 1971 -limited to axial imaging of the brain in neuroradiology It developed into a versatile 3D whole body imaging modality for a wide range of applications in for example • oncology, vascular radiology, cardiology, traumatology and interventional radiology. Computed tomography can be used for

Finding Early Invasive Breast Cancers: APracticalApproach
humanhealth.iaea.orgnvasive breast cancer typically man-ifests as a mass at mammography. Before developing into a mass, a can-cer may manifest as a focal asymmetry. Early detection of these masses and asymmetries that represent invasive carcinoma is important in reducing breast cancer mortality. Women with invasive cancers of 1 cm or smaller have
Chapter 13: Image Reconstruction
humanhealth.iaea.org13.2.1 Two dimensional tomography Eq. 13.1 describes the acquisition process in 2-D PET and in SPECT with parallel hole collimation, if attenuation can be ignored. Assuming that Λ(x, y) represents the tracer distribution at transaxial slice . Z. through the patient, then Y(s,ϕ) represents the corresponding sinogram, and contains the . z
