CT Scan
CT (computed tomography), sometimes called CAT scan, uses special x-ray equipment
to obtain image data from different angles around the body, and then uses computer
processing of the information to show a cross-section of body tissues and organs.
CT imaging is particularly useful because it can show several types of tissue-lung, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels-with great clarity.
