Abstract (English):	X-ray computed tomography is a modality routinely used in clinical practice. This modality generates a set of two-dimensional images, each representing a slice that includes information about the patient's anatomy. Three-dimensional images are obtained from radiological projections using reconstruction techniques. The projections are obtained by exposing the object to X-ray radiation at different angles and by measuring the degree of absorption of the beam passing through the object. The present article shows the application of this technology of medical images and its advances in cardiology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	La tomografía computarizada por rayos X es una modalidad utilizada rutinariamente en la práctica clínica. Esta modalidad genera un conjunto de imágenes en bidimensionales, cada una de las cuales representa una rodaja que incluye información sobre la anatomía interna del paciente. Las imágenes tridimensionales son obtenidas a partir de proyecciones radiológicas mediante técnicas de reconstrucción. Las proyecciones son obtenidas por la exposición del objeto a radiaciones de rayos X según distintos ángulos y por la medición del grado de absorción del haz que atraviesa al objeto. El presente artículo muestra la aplicación de esta tecnología de imágenes médicas y sus avances en cardiología. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
