Physics in Action: CT Scans
written by the Physics Central
published by the American Physical Society
Find out how Computed Tomography (CT) scans work and how they have been improved since the mid-seventies.  Compare the CT scan to X-rays to show CT scan's ability to take pictures of the body's soft tissues, like the brain. Check out 3D scans and time-dependent imaging.
