A computed tomography (CT) scanner is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce images of the inside of the body. It shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, organs, and blood vessels.
CT scanners are used to diagnose a wide range of medical conditions, including:
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Bone fractures
- Infections
- Internal bleeding
- Organ disorders
CT scans are also used to guide other medical procedures, such as biopsies and needle placements.
