Tomogram

A tomogram is a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object created using X-rays or other forms of electromagnetic radiation.

Tomograph

Tomograph refers to an imaging technique used to produce a 3D image of the inside of the body by computer reconstruction of cross-sectional slices, often used in medical diagnostic imaging, such as in computed tomography (CT) scans.

Tomographic

Tomographic refers to the formation of detailed images or cross-sections of an object or a part of the body by using a technique like computerized axial tomography (CAT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This imaging technique allows for the creation of two-dimensional images of the internal structure of the object or body part from a large number of related images taken at different angles, and these images are then compiled into a three-dimensional representation. For example, a tomographic image of the brain can show the different structures and tissues inside the skull in great detail, helping doctors diagnose conditions and monitor progress.

Tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional X-ray imaging technique that produces high-resolution images of the body's internal structures. It's similar to conventional mammography, but uses a low-energy X-ray source to transmit data as a range of slices or images, which are then reconstructed as a 3D image. Tomosynthesis is often used in breast cancer screening and diagnosis, as it can provide a more accurate representation of the breast tissue and detect cancers that may not be visible on a standard 2D mammogram. The technique requires a specialized machine and is typically used in conjunction with a digital mammography machine.
