What is the term for a tomogram taken at 10 degrees or less? Zonogram

Narrow angles of tube movement (<10 degrees) produce thick sections. The shorter the amplitude, narrower the angle, thicker section.

How does SID relate to section slices? Shorter SID produces a thinner section. Increased SID produces a thicker section.
