Computed Tomography (CT)

Computed Tomography (CT), also known as Computed Axial Tomography (CAT), uses x-ray beams rotated around a patient and processed with a computer to create three-dimensional images of the interior of a selected body part. These images can be enhanced with the use of contrast either injected into the venous system or ingested in the GI tract to provide detailed images for diagnosis.
