This is achieved in a tunnel or gantry device - often referred to colloquially as a "tube." With a ct scan of Mandurah, the patient is driven into a rotating X-ray tube. This rotates around the patient lying down, sends out X-rays, and creates several thousand cross-sectional images per rotation. The body tissue attenuates the radiation and thus becomes visible.
