Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of the question: The goal is to identify the imaging technique that produces cross-sectional views of the body. Cross-sectional imaging allows visualization of internal structures in slices, which is useful for diagnosing and studying anatomy.

Review the characteristics of each imaging technique: Computed Tomography (CT) scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), X-ray, and Ultrasound. Focus on their ability to produce cross-sectional images.

Learn about CT scans: CT scans use X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. They are particularly effective for visualizing bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels.

Compare CT scans to other techniques: MRI also produces cross-sectional images but uses magnetic fields and radio waves instead of X-rays. X-rays provide 2D images and are not typically used for cross-sectional views. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images but does not produce cross-sectional slices.

Conclude that CT scans are the primary imaging technique for cross-sectional views, while MRI can also be used for this purpose depending on the clinical need. X-rays and Ultrasound are not typically used for cross-sectional imaging.
