Computed Axial Tomography (CAT)
Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) is a type of imaging technique that uses a combination of X-rays and digital computer technology to create images of the organs and tissues within the body. Using an X-ray source and detector, CAT scans rotate around the body to acquire cross-sectional images of the body. These images are then used to detect and diagnose a variety of medical conditions, including tumors, blockages in blood vessels, bone fractures, and other abnormal tissues. CAT scans provide detailed information about the anatomy and structure of the body which is not obtainable with other imaging techniques. CAT scans are used routinely in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases, and are now an integral part of modern medicine.
