NCI: A detailed picture of areas inside the body. The pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine that scans the body in a spiral path.,NCI: A method of examining body organs by scanning them with X rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross-sectional scans along a single axis.,MSH: Computed tomography where there is continuous X-ray exposure to the patient while being transported in a spiral or helical pattern through the beam of irradiation. This provides improved three-dimensional contrast and spatial resolution compared to conventional computed tomography, where data is obtained and computed from individual sequential exposures.,NCI: A method of computed tomography (CT) that uses continuous rotation of the X-ray tube and continuous transport of the patient through the scanning aperture that allows the rapid acquisition of a volume of CT data. Advantages over conventional CT include: rapid acquisition of a large volume of data within a single breath-hold, thus minimizing res
