2What Is a CT Scan?
A computerized tomography or CT scan uses a series of X-rays to generate images of the body from various angles. With computer processing, this imaging technique can produce cross-sectional slices of soft tissues, blood vessels, and bones. This provides healthcare providers with more details and information compared to standard X-rays. While there are many applications, a CT scan is especially suitable for a quick examination for those who have internal injuries caused by trauma or vehicle accidents. In addition, the technique can help visualize nearly all body parts, making it a great option to plan radiation, surgical, or medical treatment, as well as diagnose injury or disease. [2]
