		Newer machines with faster computer systems and newer software strategies can process not only individual cross sections but continuously changing cross sections as the gantry, with the object to be imaged, is slowly and smoothly slid through the X-ray circle.
		Their computer systems integrate the data of the moving individual slices to generate three dimensional volumetric information, in turn viewable from multiple different perspectives on attached CT workstation monitors.

	Computed tomography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computed tomography (CT), originally known as computed axial tomography (CAT) and body section roentgenography, is a medical imaging method employing tomography where digital processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the internals of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation.
		The word "tomography" is derived from the Greek tomos (slice) and graphia (describing).
		In recent years, tomography has also been introduced on the micrometer level and is named Microtomography.

	Computed Axial Tomography
		Computed axial tomography (better known as a "CT"or "CAT" scan) is a special type of x-ray that produces pictures of a "slice" through the body.
		Unlike a regular x-ray, which gives only a "camera's eye" view, a CAT scan shows the various layers of tissue in any segment of the body.
		The CAT scan machine is usually located in a room of its own.
