CT (Computed Tomography)

Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body's internal structures. During a CT scan, the patient lies on a table that moves through a large, doughnut-shaped machine. As X-ray beams rotate around the body, they capture multiple images from different angles. A computer then processes these images to produce clear, three-dimensional pictures, allowing doctors to diagnose conditions, assess injuries, and plan treatments accurately. CT scans are commonly used for examining the brain, chest, abdomen, and bones.
