Image for Computer Tomography

Computer Tomography

Computer Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. During a CT scan, the patient lies on a table that moves through a large, doughnut-shaped machine. The machine takes multiple X-ray images from different angles, which a computer then processes to produce clear, 3D images of organs, tissues, and bones. CT scans are valuable for diagnosing conditions, planning treatments, and monitoring disease progression, as they provide more information than standard X-rays. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and commonly used in hospitals and clinics.
