Computed Tomography‚ also known as computed axial tomography‚ or CAT scan‚ medical technology that uses X rays and computers to produce three-dimensional images of the human body. Unlike traditional X rays‚ which highlight dense body parts‚ such as bones‚ CT provides detailed views of the body’s soft tissues‚ including blood vessels‚ muscle tissue‚ and organs‚ such as the brain. While conventional X rays provide flat two-dimensional images‚ CT images depict a cross-section of the body. A patient
