Computed tomography (CT) is a cross-sectional imaging technique that rotates an X-ray source and detector array around the patient and reconstructs the measured attenuation into tomographic images of internal anatomy. By resolving overlapping structures that confound plain radiography, CT delineates soft tissue, bone, vessels and pathology with high spatial detail, and acquisitions can be reformatted into multiplanar and three-dimensional renderings. It is widely used for detecting and staging cancer, evaluating trauma and fractures, characterizing cardiopulmonary and abdominal disease, and guiding intervention, with advanced applications including dual-energy material characterization, CT angiography and combined PET/CT. Work in this area covers correlation of a modified CT severity index with biochemical markers in acute pancreatitis, dual-energy CT in the management of uric-acid renal calculi, cone-beam CT and orthopantomography in sinus augmentation, chest CT in a COVID-19 reference hospital, CT angiography in a stroke protocol, identification of actionable CT findings in Crohn disease, target-volume definition for radiosurgery using multimodality imaging, and 18F-FDG PET/CT in gastric carcinoma. Combined ultrasonography with cone-beam CT and transabdominal ultrasonography in gastric cancer illustrate complementary cross-sectional approaches. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on computed-tomographic imaging and its diagnostic and interventional applications.
