The technique can provide excellent, detailed images of the body's soft tissue and is an alternative to using X-ray techniques such as computedtomography(CT).
And recent computedtomography(CT) scans of the thighbone of a six-million-year-old Kenyan creature known as Orrorin tugenensis suggest it might have had quite a human gait.
The early use of fracking to get at reserves previously thought of as unrecoverable, shortly after the turn of the 21st century, came about after exploration companies began examining geologic formations using x-ray computedtomography, or CT scanners.
