Tomography is imaging by section or sectioning. The word was derived from the Greek word "tomos", which means "a section", "a slice", or "a cutting" and "graphien", which means to write or document.
Linear Tomography is a radiographic technique that uses motion to demonstrate anatomy lying in a plane of tissue, while blurring or eliminating structures above and below the plane of interest. This technology led to the development of CT (Computerized Tomography), which is more widely used today.
