Hospital's new CT unit means clearer images Jul 13, 2008
Thanks to North Mississippi Medical Center-Eupora's new computerized axial tomography (CT) scanner, Webster County patients will no longer have to leave the county for advanced imaging. Computerized axial tomography (also known as CT scan or CAT scan) uses X-rays to generate computerized images of all parts of the body. (Webster Progress-Times, MS)

Volcanic Plumbing Dictates Development Of Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vents Mar 23, 2007
They dropped numerous ocean-bottom measuring devices to capture seismic data that are used to make tomographic images - similar to those obtained in medicine with computerized axial tomography, or CAT scans - of the patterns of magma delivery to the crust, in this case the ocean floor. This allowed researchers to explore both the isotropic and anisotropic structure of material in the mantle. (Science Daily)
