definition: procedimiento diagnóstico que combina la técnica de una radiografía realizada con un ordenador. El resultado son imágenes tridimensionales de una gran calidad que muestran diferencias mínimas presentes en el tejido y huesos del cuerpo. Para aumentar la definición de por sí alta, se pueden utilizar de la misma forma que en radiología, distintos medios de contraste, con lo que se obtiene una imagen mucho más nítida. Es un procedimiento diagnóstico para enfermedades cerebrales, así como en lcánceres que comienzan o se extienden por órganos internos. (es)
