A mention to the historical contribution by Dr. Alessandro Vallebona to the invention of CT scan should be included, consistently with the Italian version of this Wikipedia Page and other reputable sources (including: the International Society for Computed Tomography, the Italian edited encyclopedia Treccani, and edited scientific articles).
This again the phrase: "In the early 1900s an Italian radiologist named Alessandro Vallebona invented tomography (initially named "stratigraphy") which used radiographic film to see a single slice of the body"

In the article, the word sinogram is hyperlinked to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sinogram. However, the wiktionary definition does not actually include the sense of "raw data from a CT scan". As it stands, the linking is somewhat confusing. Gallium314 (talk) 00:54, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
