Computed Tomography (CT) scan, formerly known as a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan, is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays combined with advanced computer processing to produce cross-sectional (sliced) images of the body. CT scans can quickly and accurately show bones, soft tissues, blood vessels, and organs, making them invaluable for diagnosing injuries, detecting diseases, and guiding treatment.
