SUMMARY

The physical principle behind Computed Tomography (CT) involves the use of a series of one-dimensional X-rays shot through a subject at various angles. The process entails dividing the body into a grid of boxes and calculating the density for each box to ensure that the total absorption measured by the X-ray corresponds to the absorption along that line. This calculation primarily relies on matrix inversion techniques. For further information, refer to the Wikipedia article on X-ray computed tomography.

Hello

How are u ?

please help me

What is Physical Principle for CT ( Computed Tomography ) ?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
It's just a series of 1d x-rays
You shoot an x-ray through the victim at a range of angles
You then divide the body into a series of boxes (in a computer) and work out what density you would out in each box so that a ray through a line of boxes gives the same total absorption as you measured with the x-ray along that same line

The details of how you do the sums depends on the system, but it's basically just a matrix inversion
