A computed tomography (CT) scan) 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 a comprehensive view of internal structures, such as organs and tissues. CT scans are commonly used to diagnose various conditions, including injuries, tumors, and infections. They provide more detailed information than standard X-rays, helping doctors make informed decisions about treatment and care. The procedure is quick and non-invasive, making it a valuable tool in modern medicine.
