2021年8月2日 · Cross-sectional imaging is usually used to refer to CT, MRI, PET, and SPECT and related imaging techniques, that view the body in cross-section i.e. as axial (cross-sectional) slices.

Cross-sectional imaging is playing an increasing role in the diagnosis and management of benign and malignant disease. The choice of techniques is expanding with the advent of faster CT and MRI for anatomical imaging and positron emission tomography for functional data.

2019年3月3日 · Cross-sectional scanning techniques “slice” the patient open, providing a look “inside,” eliminating superimposition. These images are the product of individual digital readings, from multiple angles, synthesized into a digital image.

2024年8月27日 · Cross-sectional imaging is a medical imaging technique that provides detailed, 2D slices or sections of the body, commonly achieved through technologies like CT (Computed Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

2023年11月3日 · X-ray continues to be a highly utilized medical imaging modality as it offers high spatial resolution and enables comprehensive visualization of structures which can be hard to perceive in axial (cross sectional) perspectives.

cross sectional imaging A term of art referring to imaging (“radiology”) based on cross-sections (axial “slices”) of the body, in particular MRI, CT, and PET-CT, which contrasts to general (plain, or non-“slice”) imaging—e.g. films, ultrasound, etc.

The term “computed tomography,” or CT, refers to a computerized x-ray imaging procedure in which a narrow beam of x-rays is aimed at a patient and quickly rotated around the body, producing signals that are processed by the machine’s computer to generate cross-sectional images, or “slices.”

2018年6月7日 · A brief introduction to cross-sectional imaging modalities including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is provided. The uses and risk of contrast agents are reviewed.

Current computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies provide detailed morphologic assessment, and are advancing rapidly into more sophisticated physiologic evaluation of aortic disease.

2016年3月4日 · These technologies create cross-sectional imaging planes, in effect visualizing a slice through the body. Cross-sectional images have the advantage of visualizing anatomic structures without the sometimes confusing superimposition of other anatomic parts.
