A CT scan, or computed tomography scan, is a diagnostic imaging test that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body’s internal structures. This type of scan is utilized to examine various parts of the body, including the head, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities, and is particularly effective in diagnosing conditions such as tumors, fractures, infections, and vascular diseases. During the procedure, the patient lies on a table that slides into a large, doughnut-shaped machine. As the machine rotates around the patient, it takes multiple X-ray images from different angles, which are then processed by a computer to create a comprehensive, three-dimensional image.
