What imaging method is a compiled series of X-rays?
A
MRI
B
CT Scan
C
PET
D
EEG
E
fMRI
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The term “computed tomography, ” or CT, refers to a computerized x-ray imaging procedure in which a narrow beam of x-rays is aimed at a patient and quickly rotated around the body, producing signals that are processed by the machine’s computer to generate cross-sectional images, or “slices.”

Detailed explanation-2: -A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around your body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. CT scan images provide more-detailed information than plain X-rays do.

Detailed explanation-3: -A CT scan, or computed tomography scan, sends radiation through the body. However, unlike a simple X-ray study, it offers a much higher level of detail, creating computerized, 360-degree views of the body’s structures. CT scans are fast and detailed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Computed tomography, or CT, scans are medical imaging tests that use ionizing radiation to create cross-sectional (slices) pictures inside selected areas of the body from different angles. The images can show internal organs, blood vessels, soft tissues, and bones.

Detailed explanation-5: -Radiography is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses ionizing radiation (X-rays) to produce an image of an internal body structure.
