CT Scan (Computed Tomography)

A CT scan, or Computed Tomography scan, is an advanced imaging technique used in medicine to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body. It combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to produce cross-sectional images, or "slices," of organs and tissues. This helps doctors diagnose illnesses, assess injuries, and plan treatments more effectively. CT scans are often quick and painless, making them a valuable tool for examining various conditions, from tumors to internal bleeding.
