What Is a CT Scan?
A CT scan—short for computerized tomography—is a noninvasive imaging procedure that uses X-ray technology and computer processing to create detailed, cross-sectional views of the body. The result is a series of images that reveal organs, bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels with far more clarity than standard X-rays alone.
During the scan, you’ll lie on a motorized table that slowly moves through a circular scanner. The machine takes multiple images from different angles, which are then combined into a comprehensive 3D view. Contrast dye may sometimes be used to help certain areas show up more clearly.
Common Uses for a CT Scan
CT scans play an important role in evaluating a wide range of health concerns. They are often recommended to examine the brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis, or spine and may also guide procedures like biopsies.
- A CT scan can help detect or monitor conditions such as:
- Brain injuries or tumors
- Cancers and metastatic diseases
- Blood vessel abnormalities and aneurysms
- Healing progress after surgery on bones or joints
- Lung or heart conditions
- Internal bleeding or trauma
- Digestive or urinary system concerns
A full-body CT scan may also be recommended in certain cases to screen for potential issues throughout the body, even before symptoms arise.
