TAC de la cabeza
TC significa tomografía computarizada. En este procedimiento, un delgado haz de rayos X es rotado alrededor del área del cuerpo que va a ser visualizada. A través de procesos matemáticos muy complicados llamados algoritmos, la computadora puede generar imágenes tridimensionales de una sección del cuerpo. La TC es muy minuciosa y proporciona al médico excelente información.
