Is x-ray computed tomography the same as imaging?

Same. X-ray computed tomography, which is what we usually call CT examination, is widely used in clinical examination of various parts of the body. Compared with traditional X-ray scanning, it has the advantages of high resolution and no overlapping of tissue images. In medicine, only X-ray computed tomography, without imaging, has the same meaning. Computed tomography (CT) is a new X-ray examination technique, which is only used in clinical diagnosis in 1973. It is rapid, safe, painless, accurate and qualitative, and can find small lesions at an early stage.
