Applications for Linear Tomography

Tomography is commonly used when improved radiographic contrast is essential in your diagnostic exam. Through blurring of overlying and underlying tissues, the subject contrast of tissue in the tomographic section is enhanced.
Anatomy at the target level remains sharp, while structures at different levels are blurred. By varying the extent and path of motion, a variety of effects can be obtained.
Although largely obsolete, conventional tomography is still used in specific situations such as dental imaging (orthopantomography) or in intravenous urography.
