A CT scan, also known as a computed tomography scan, is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It involves the use of a specialized X-ray machine that rotates around the patient, capturing multiple X-ray images from different angles. These images are then reconstructed by a computer to create detailed images of internal structures, organs, and tissues. CT scans are commonly used to diagnose and monitor various conditions, such as tumors, bone fractures, internal bleeding, and infections, as they provide more detailed and precise images compared to conventional X-rays.
