Cross-sectional body image
A tomogram is an image produced by tomography—a technique that creates cross-sectional pictures of the body or other objects.
X-ray tomograms preceded modern CT scans, which generate detailed tomograms through computer processing: The tomogram revealed a small lesion in the left lung.
