Tomography is an imaging technique that creates cross-sectional images, or "slices," of an object by processing projection data obtained from various angles. When a computer is used for this image reconstruction process, it is specifically called Computed Tomography (CT). While X-ray tomography is the most common form, the principle is also applied using other types of signals, such as sound waves, terahertz waves, and electrical capacitance.
