Computed tomography as imaging modality

How does CT imaging work?

As the patient passes through the CT imaging system, a source of x rays rotates around the inside of the circular opening.
A single rotation takes about 1 second.
The x-ray source produces a narrow, fan-shaped beam of x rays used to irradiate a section of the patient's body (Figure 4)..

Ultrasound images are created using sound waves and are able to gather real-time images of both anatomy as well as function (heart valve opening and closing)..
