Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles and uses computer processing to produce slices of bones, organs, and tissues, allowing for a comprehensive view of internal structures. CT scans are widely used in various medical fields for diagnosing conditions, planning treatments, and monitoring the effectiveness of therapies. They are particularly valuable in emergency medicine, oncology, and trauma care, providing quick and accurate information that can be critical for patient outcomes.
