What is a "computed tomography scan"?
A computed tomography scan, or CT scan, is a medical imaging test that uses X-rays to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body. It takes multiple X-ray images from different angles and combines them to produce a clear view of organs, bones, and tissues. CT scans are often used to diagnose and monitor various conditions, such as injuries, tumors, or infections. The test is quick and typically involves lying still on a table while the scanner moves around you.
