This article explains how Computed Tomography (CT) scans have been recently developed and improved.  The site contrasts the CT scan to X-rays to show CT scan's ability to take pictures of the body's soft tissue like the brain or organs.  It also presents some recent advances, such as 3D scans and time-dependent imaging.  Links to resources are included.
