About CT Scan

A CT scan, or computed tomography scan, is a medical imaging technique that combines multiple X-ray measurements taken from different angles to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It provides more precise and clearer images than traditional X-rays, allowing doctors to view bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues with great clarity. CT scans are commonly used to detect internal injuries, diagnose diseases such as cancer, monitor the effectiveness of treatments, and guide surgical procedures. The procedure is painless and usually quick, although it may involve the use of a contrast dye to enhance image quality. Despite the use of low doses of radiation, CT scans are generally considered safe when medically necessary.
