CT (Computed Tomography) scan

A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays taken from different angles to create detailed cross-sectional images of the inside of the body. These images resemble slices, allowing doctors to see bones, tissues, and organs with high clarity, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. The process involves lying on a table that moves through a doughnut-shaped scanner, which captures multiple X-ray images and a computer assembles them into detailed 2D or 3D images. CT scans are quick, non-invasive, and provide critical information for various medical conditions.
