a: computed tomography ~
b: three-dimensional X-ray
What:
"The CT (computed tomography) is like a three-dimensional X-ray. "It allows us a precise idea of where a tumor is located." Together, the scans show a transparent, 3-D version of the patient that doctors can manipulate and zoom in on. The tracers light up the tissues doctors are looking for."
