X-ray computed tomography (CT)
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that creates detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It uses special X-ray machines that rotate around the patient, capturing multiple images from different angles. A computer then processes these images to generate a three-dimensional representation of internal structures, such as organs, bones, and blood vessels. This allows doctors to diagnose and monitor medical conditions with high precision, providing a non-invasive way to see inside the body in great detail, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
