What is a CT Scan?

Computerized Tomography, also known as a CT or CAT scan is a medical imaging device that combines the use of x-rays with computers to produce images that allow physicians to look inside a patient's body. A CT scan can produce clear, extremely detailed pictures of the body's internal structures. It can separate bone from muscle and fat in the part of the body being examined.

How does a CT scan work?

Much like conventional radiograph x-rays pass through the person's body and a computer then reconstructs the information into cross-sectional images. These cross-sectional images allow the radiologist to evaluate the internal organs as though we looked at the body separated into a series of thin "slices".
