Abstract
Before computed tomography (CT) scanning, a preliminary radiograph of the area of interest is obtained with a Bell-Thompson ruler on the table top parallel to the spine [in humans]. This allows precise localization of the level of CT sectioning in relation to the vertebral column.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
