CT scanner basics

Labelled CT scanner setup with a patient on a table, a rotating X-ray tube, a narrow monochromatic beam, and an array of detectors around the gantry

A CT scanner builds cross-sectional images of the body rather than one flat 2D picture. An X-ray tube rotates around the patient while detectors on the opposite side measure how much of the beam gets through.
