Pictures of structures within the body created by a computer that takes the data from multiple X-ray images and turns them in pictures on a screen The CAT (computerized axial tomography) scan can reveal some soft-tissue and other structures that cannot even be seen in conventional X-rays

computerized axial tomography scan, or CT scans, is a imaging device used to create cross-section views of the body It is often used to detect abnormal structures such as cancer tumors
This is a diagnostic test A form of x-ray utilizing computer technology, a CAT Scan provides cross-sectional images of the spine CAT stands for Computerized Axial Tomography
An imaging technique that uses a computer to organize the information from multiple x-ray views and construct a cross-sectional image of areas inside the body Also called computerized axial tomography (CAT) or CT scan
A radiological technique used to examine the structure of the brain X-rays are sent through the brain at different angles, and the images are computerized to form a picture of the brain's structure from any angle
A type of X-ray that yields a three-dimensional picture of the body that is about 100 times more sensitive than a standard X-ray It can be given with or without contrast (medication given by drink or injection to enhance X-ray pictures)
