A river begins at a source (or more often several sources), follows a path called a course, and ends at a mouth or mouths. The water in a river is usually confined to a channel, made up of a stream bed between banks. In larger rivers there is often also a wider floodplain shaped by flood-waters over-topping the channel.
A 'computerized tomography' (CT) (or 'computerized axial tomography' (CAT) scan) uses a computer that takes data from several X-ray images of structures inside a human's or animal's body and converts them into pictures on a monitor.
A computed tomography (CT) scan is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create pictures of cross-sections of the body.
