Computed Tomography (CT) Scanning

Computed Tomography (CT) scanning is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. During a scan, an X-ray source rotates around the patient, capturing multiple images from different angles. A computer then processes these images to generate clear, 3D-like slices of internal structures, helping doctors diagnose conditions such as injuries, tumors, or infections with high accuracy. CT scans are quick, non-invasive, and provide more detailed information than standard X-rays, making them essential for precise medical assessments.
