MSH: X-ray image-detecting devices that make a focused image of body structures lying in a predetermined plane from which more complex images are computed.,SPN: A computed tomography X-ray system is a diagnostic X-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.,NCI: CT (Computerized (Axial) Tomography) scanner is a special kind of machine which directs a series of X-ray pulses through the body, to produce detailed pictures of internal body structures.,UMD: Scanning systems that use a radiographic technique and computerized processing to generate thin cross-sectional (tomographic) images, or "slices" of a transverse plane of the body. Most computed tomography (CT) scanning systems are capable of three-dimensional (3-D) image reconstruction. Duri
