- Imaging by sections or sectioning
- A series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body; the pictures are created by a computer linked to an x-ray machine.
- The procedure used to obtain a set of slice images of the patient.
- From the Greek words "to cut or section" (tomos) and "to write" (graphein), in nuclear medicine, it is a method of separating interference from the area of interest by imaging a cut section of the object.
- A method for determining the distribution of physical properties within the earth by inverting the results of a large number of measurements made in three dimensions (e.g. seismic, radar, resistivity, EM) between different source and receiver locations.
- Method of mapping the internal parts of the Earth, ocean, or other body by observing waves transmitted through the body as they arrive at various points on its surface; produces a three- dimensional view of internal variations of wave transmission velocity.*
