What is a "scan"?
A scan is a test that uses technology to create images of the inside of the body. It helps doctors see and evaluate organs, tissues, and structures to diagnose and monitor health conditions. Different types of scans include CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasound scans, each using different methods to produce images.
