Questio(cid:374)s . : what happens to an object when we angle the tube, elongating/foreshortening, what happens when we have motion during an exposure, blurring. History today : before evolution of computed tomography (ct), conventional tomography was the gold standard for achieving 2d sectional images of a body part. Linear tomography continues to be used today, mainly for kidneys, tmjs and etc also very prevalent in rural healthcare settings: northern communities. Slice thickness: variation of fulcrum (changing where our x-ray tube is pivoting) Increased spatial resolution, inherently has good contrast resolution: zonography: narrow angle tomography (less than 10 exposure amplitude), thicker slices, for things where less detail required, (cid:862)a(cid:374)(cid:455) sli(cid:272)e that is 6 (cid:373)(cid:373) or larger(cid:863)
