Computed
Axial Tomography ("CT" or "CAT" scan)
is a way of looking inside your body using a special
camera. The images (or pictures) produced are cross - sectional,
like the slices in a loaf of bread. During a CT exam
the scanner takes multiple cross-sectional pictures of you.
These pictures are created with the help of a computer and
are capable of depicting various internal body parts in
much greater detail than standard X-Ray films. This greatly
enhances the doctor's ability to diagnose a medical condition.
