Computerized Axial Tomography

Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) or CT scan is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. As the scanner rotates around the patient, it captures multiple images from different angles. A computer then processes these images to produce a precise, layered picture of internal structures, helping healthcare providers diagnose injuries, infections, or diseases more effectively. CT scans are quick, non-invasive, and provide clear, detailed views that are often essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
