  • Essay / CT-scanner - 987

    I chose this topic because I found it very interesting and something I wanted to learn more about. I had a scan when I had a concussion after a car accident when I was seven. Also because my father and many of my friends were put through the scanner. Anatomists, morphologists and biologists have tried to understand how living things live and what they look like on the inside. In 1974, Dr. Frourie painfully sliced ​​the organisms into thin slices to study their internal arrangements to better understand them. Today, these people use CT scanners instead. It's much simpler, less bloody, takes less time and the sample is not affected or destroyed during the procedure - the advantages are numerous. This technique allows us to visualize the inside of us, humans, organisms or other objects in 3D geometry. CTscans stands for “Computed Tomography”. It's a way of looking inside your body using a special camera. It is an advanced computer and x-ray system that produces detailed images of horizontal sections of the body or body part being x-rayed. A CT scan is a diagnostic test that combines the use of x-rays with computer technology. A series of X-beams from many different angles are used to obtain these cross-sectional images of the patient's body. In a computer, these images are assembled into a three-dimensional image that can display organs, tissues, bones, etc. It can even show ducts, blood vessels and tumors. One of the advantages of CT scanning is that it clearly shows soft tissue structures (like the brain) as well as dense tissue structures (like bones). The images from a CTscanner are much more detailed than those from a conventional X-ray machine. It can take images of areas that are protected or surrounded by bone, something a regular x-ray machine cannot do. It is for this reason that a CT scan is said to be 100 times more effective and intelligent than a regular x-ray and can therefore diagnose certain diseases much earlier and faster. It is a recent technology that has made it possible to accurately scan objects into a computer in three dimensions, although the machines and ideas were developed in the 1970s. In the 1970s, doctors began using this new type of device that could give detailed images of organs that the old type of x-ray could not give..
