A CT (Computed Tomography) scan is an advanced medical imaging procedure that uses X-rays and computer processing to create highly detailed cross-sectional images of the body. Unlike a regular X-ray, which mainly shows bones, a CT scan can clearly visualize soft tissues, blood vessels, bones, and internal organs, helping doctors detect a wide range of conditions.
A standard, non-emergency CT scan performed for diagnostic evaluation or ongoing monitoring. It is recommended by physicians to examine specific areas of the body in detail for accurate diagnosis.
