What is Computed Tomography (CT)?

Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It is commonly used to diagnose various medical conditions, including injuries, infections, tumors, and cardiovascular disease. The process involves rotating an X-ray tube around the patient while detectors measure the amount of radiation that passes through the body. These measurements are then processed by a computer to generate detailed images of internal organs, bones, soft tissue, and blood vessels.
